For the Declaration of Independence's 250th anniversary, Historic Richmond Town built an exhibition around Staten Island's own political history and the objects in its collection. This talk brings the curator and advisors together to explain how power works from the local level up. If you are a history buff, pair it with a walk through the village's preserved buildings.
What to expect
An hour-long panel discussion connected to the exhibition, with time to see the Founding Principles show in the Historical Museum before or after. The surrounding village of preserved homes and shops makes it easy to turn the talk into a half-day visit.
