About the New-York
Historical Society
Founded in 1804, the Historical Society has a mission to
explore the richly layered history of New York City and
State and the country, and to serve as a national forum for
the discussion of issues surrounding the making and meaning
of history.
The Historical Society is recognized for engaging the
public with deeply researched and far-ranging exhibitions,
such as Alexander Hamilton: The Man Who Made Modern
America; Slavery in New York; Nature and the American
Vision: The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical
Society; Grant and Lee in War and Peace;
Lincoln and New York; The Grateful Dead: Now
Playing at the New-York Historical Society; and
Nueva York. Supporting these exhibitions and
related education programs is one of the world's greatest
collections of historical artifacts, works of American art,
and other materials documenting the history of the United
States and New York. |
