3 Queens Historic Houses with Hands-on Fun for NYC Kids
Submitted by Kelly O on
There are a lot of historic houses in NYC that give visitors a fascinating glimpse at our city's rich past. Unfortunately, most of these institutions are hands-off spots filled with vintage furniture and curios that beg to be touched—a real problem when you're visiting with young (and even not-so-young) kids.
But there are three historic museums in my home borough of Queens that offer special hands-on experiences just for families that are as engaging as they are educational. From romping in a 19th-century playroom to churning your own butter to exploring a Victorian garden, here are a trio of Queens history museums where kids will actually have fun.
