Today, when people see New York City, all they see is the modern architecture and the shining lights but they forget its fascinating history. It’s been centuries since the Europeans first set off on their explorations, and today it’s time to recount the stories. Visiting New York’s historical resources should be part of your New York Travel.
The Museum of the City of New York will take you on an historical journey from the very beginning of New York through the September 11 attacks all the way to present day. You’ll find a great multimedia session as well permanent and temporary exhibitions that the history fanatic in you will greatly appreciate.
The Henry Luce III Center for the Study of American Culture is a great place to discover New York artifacts. Picture yourself sitting in George Washington’s comfortable looking chair, or look at the wooden leg used by Gouverneur Morris, one of our founding fathers. Recent history that is still fresh in our memories will also be displayed. You’ll get to see different objects that were salvaged from the twin towers.
Take a trip to Ellis Island and picture all the millions of immigrants arriving, desperate for a better life. There are a few other museums and activities that walk you through interesting historical details of New York City. Take advantage of these cultural wonders by getting your New York Vacation rentals.
The Lower East Side Tenement Museum is one to consider, and the tour of the family apartment of the Moores Is also to consider during your New York travel.
Weather permitting, take some walking tours. The “Financial district” tour is a great choice and Big Onion is also another recommended walking tour.
Lastly, another institution worth considering for your New York travel, The Transit Museum is a great experience since the institution is located in an old subway station built in the 1930’s.
Get your New York vacation rental, but this time, while you are in town, picture the city with its great history. You will start appreciating the city from a richer perspective, like so few people do.
