The Transit Navigator • September 24, 2011Best of the Best! EduConcierge's all-time favorite museum! See the history of the subway, methods of fare collection, and tour old subway cars in this former subway station. It's an absolute must see!
Ehtesh C. • September 16, 2016Nice tiny museum. The exhibit inside talks about the Revolutionary War and the Battle of Brooklyn.

Ms H. • December 18, 2012Worth checking out if you enjoy history and FREE. Beautiful building. Good exhibit on American Indian's in music incl clips of Hendrix and others in a mini theatre.
Quintein • December 16, 2018Beautiful museum really puts into perspective the events that day. I recommend going solo and spending up to 2 hours there. The gift shop is incredibly tacky for such a sensitive location.
