Business Description
The colonial-era fieldstone house, built c. 1758, in which the Museum of Bronx History is located was donated to The Bronx County Historical Society in 1965. The museum opened in 1968, after the house was restored. Visitors today can see the original fieldstone walls and oak and pine floorboards fashioned by the enslaved African craftsmen of the original owner of the house, Isaac Valentine. The main level of the museum contains three galleries that feature a rich rotation of exhibitions as well as a museum gift store.
