Learn how the former inhabitants of this village lived in the 1700s and 1800s as you get a fascinating look inside houses filled with authentic period furnishings. Feel history come alive as you tour one of the oldest homes in all of the US, a 350 year old cottage. 

This is one of the most fun historic sites in Staten Island for kids. Time your visit right and you can join a guided tour where you will follow your guide in period dress from building to building and learn about each exhibit. Tours are themed by day, so check ahead to see whether you'll be learning about early American government, life before electricity, early American cooking, or other exciting tour themes.
