Pop Web site in new window   Paperless Guide to New York/History
New York State and New York City have a fascinating history dating back to before colonial times, and this site does a nice job of presenting the story, beginning with the Indian tribes who first lived here. Want to know why its called the Big Apple? Check out "Strange facts"...
 
Pop Web site in new window   New York City: Tenement Museum
A funky virtual NYC tour. We like this site for New York's Tenement Museum. Be prepared to spend some time looking at the artifacts removed from the building and the current restoration work, all presented in a highly entertaining and interactive way.

For New Yorkers and visitors alike, the city's snaking subway system has its own special mystique beyond the allure of the city itself. On this site, find a wealth of photos and essays about the history of the New York Subway system, abandoned stations, and other regional transit systems.

A perfect way to learn about Gotham City's illustrious past! Extensive articles and lots of photos on exhibitions and collections, a calendar, and historical research info. Peek at the Big Apple History Spot for a quick blurb.
