Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, House museum in Rosebank, Staten Island, United States.
The Garibaldi-Meucci Museum is a house museum in a Gothic Revival cottage that displays artifacts and documents about inventor Antonio Meucci and revolutionary leader Giuseppe Garibaldi. The collection features personal items that tell the story of their lives and accomplishments.
The building was constructed in 1840 and housed inventor Antonio Meucci and revolutionary leader Giuseppe Garibaldi during different periods. In 1907, the cottage was relocated and placed within a columned memorial pavilion built to honor Garibaldi's centennial.
The museum honors Italian-American heritage through language classes, art workshops, and opera lectures that visitors can experience during their visit. Local young inventors also participate in an annual competition held at the site.
Visits require advance reservations in this residential neighborhood where parking is limited. Plan your trip ahead and call beforehand to confirm hours and availability.
The cottage was physically moved to a new location in 1907, an impressive engineering feat for that era. This relocation allowed the structure to be integrated with the memorial pavilion that was built to honor Garibaldi's legacy.
