A Great Bronx Borough History Museum
Located in a mid 18th century house, the Bronx History Museum is home to several gallery rooms with displays relating to Bronx history. The old homestead which houses the museum was built by blacksmith Isaac Valentine, and is the Bronx's oldest farmhouse still standing. Visitors can walk on the original floors Valentine built and touch the stones he used to form the walls of the house.
