The Museum of Bronx History is located in the Valentine-Varian House, which was built in 1758 by a blacksmith. The fieldstone house has the distinction of being the second oldest in the borough. There are exhibits depicting life in 18th century Bronx, as well as a display on how the area evolved. There are also guided tours offered by the Historical Society. It is closed mid-December through mid-January. Only cash is accepted.
