Garibaldi-Meucci Museum

The Gothic Revival cottage features exhibits about Antonio Meucci's telephone invention and Giuseppe Garibaldi's revolutionary leadership through artifacts and documents.

The building, constructed in 1840, served as a residence for Italian inventor Antonio Meucci from 1808 to 1889 and revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi from 1851 to 1853.

The museum maintains Italian-American heritage through language classes, art workshops, opera lectures, and the Young Inventors Competition for local students.

Tours require advance reservations, with admission at 10 dollars per person, and visitors should note the limited parking in this residential area.

The museum building underwent relocation in 1907 and received placement within an open-air colonnaded memorial pavilion to commemorate Garibaldi's centennial birthday.
