City Island Historical Society and Nautical Museum

When heading out to the Bronx’s New England-esque fishing village to eat fried shrimp and freshly shucked clams, stop into this 19th Century public schoolhouse for a brief tour. Transformed into a museum dedicated to the history of City Island, each former classroom houses artifacts like boat building materials, newspaper clippings and family portraits to help you better understand a small facet of New York City history.
