School’s out! Stop by the New-York Historical Society on your days off to go on a historical scavenger hunt that will take you up, down, and all around the Museum discovering fascinating artifacts. Look for an old-fashioned cockroach trap, a wooden leg belonging to one of the Founding Fathers, and turn of the 20th-century toys and games.
New hunts with new objects appear all the time, so you can visit New-York Historical Society and the DiMenna Children’s History Museum again and again!
