NYHS

The race through mindblowing winds to get to the New York Historical Society was well worth the troubles. Upon entering, I didn't think much of it. It lacked the grandeur of the Met, or the literary significance of the Morgan. However, the wide array of pamphlets instantly caught my eye. There weren't only lectures, but musical events as well? It won me over. Of course the exhibit was fascinating. There were many fascinating items connected to Washington Square Park and the surrounding area. the Volumes of addresses and phone numbers didn't fascinate me as much as the sketches and blueprints. It's interesting to see what the initial layout plans were for the park. I began to wonder whether the layouts for the new renovations going on today would also find their way to the New York Historical Society some day, and whether another class, decades later, will be musing over our plans the way we mused over those of old.
