As the season changes to autumn and the New York City residents
return to their city while the autumn travelers visit the Big
Apple, museums continue to be places of great interest to visit.
A most handy guide is Museums Of New York City: A Guide for
Residents and Visitors by Deirdre Cossman. Besides well- known
museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the reader will
learn about the King Manor Museum in Jamaica, Queens home to
the founding father, Rufus King, who had a farm there from
1825 to 1827. This museum illustrates the story of the King
family and the village of Jamaica as it was over 200 years
ago.
More discoveries await
the reader. The first urban area Audubon Center is located
in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Theodore Roosevelt’s
birthplace was actually demolished in 1916 and only rebuilt
in 1919 shortly after his death. Staten Island is a treasure
trove of history from Historic Richmond Town, with buildings
ranging in date from 1695 to 1910, to the Garibaldi-Meucci
Museum, home to legendary Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi
and telephone inventor, Antonio Meucci.
Each museum entry has
helpful symbols or visual codes highlighting particular topics
or services available. Additional highlights of each museum
are listed at the end of each entry. The book page that starts
each museum’s section serves as the
map code number for that museum on the map it appears. There
are useful appendices in the back listing the museums by subject
matter and geography as well as providing a list of alternative
names some of the museums go by.
