What Life Was Really Like at Home in Mid-19th Century New York City August 18, 2007

The Merchant's House Museum was home to the Tredwell family from 1835 to 1933 and is the city's only family home preserved intact -- both inside and out -- from the 19th century. This exhibition features seven period rooms and a historic garden, showing the daily life of a wealthy mid-19th century New York City family. It's almost as though the Tredwells were still living here.
