Exploring NYC: The Van Cortlandt House Museum (Interiors)

In today’s installment of Exploring NYC, we’re visiting a local historic site that was the first historic home I ever visited! The rooms are filled with unique period furniture, including that weird five-legged card table. One of the things that fascinated me the most as a kid was that “Jacob Hop” name on the cradle!

You can learn more about the Van Cortlandt family, the house, and the park in our catalog!
