Today the museum is a National Landmark owned and operated by the Order Sons of Italy in America (OSIA). In 1919, the Garibaldi Society turned the building over to the National Order Sons of Italy in America. With the assistance of the cultural department of the Italian embassy, artifacts were collected from around the world to serve as a base for ongoing exhibits in the house. In May of 1956, the house was opened to the public and rededicated as the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum.

“The mission of the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, Staten Island, is: to collect, hold, own, maintain, preserve and exhibit historical objects and artifacts relating to the lives of General Giuseppe Garibaldi and Antonio Meucci; promote an understanding of Italian-American heritage and a positive image of Italian-Americans in the United States; and conduct educational, cultural and artistic programming designed to eliminate ethnic and racial prejudice for a diverse and growing audience.”

 

Your support helps us to provide quality educational and cultural programs for both children and adults.
