New York State History

Explore New York history with a replica report of the purchase of Manhattan, George Washington’s evacuation order, early illustrations and photos of the Erie Canal, a poster offering $10,000 reward for “Boss” Tweed, a photo album on building the Empire State Building, and a full-color, classroom poster of Uncle Sam painted by New Yorker James Flagg during WW I.
