Founded in 1804, this is New York's oldest museum: a cozy, thoughtfully curated space where Tiffany lamps glow, a replica Oval Office invites photo ops, and 400 years of city history unfold through rare artifacts, immersive films, and rotating exhibits that connect local stories to the nation's past.
