Valentine-Varian House/Museum of Bronx History

3/23/09 - By Erin

Home of the Museum of Bronx History, the Valentine-Varian House was built in 1758 and is the Bronx’s oldest remaining farmhouse. The first level of the farmhouse is open to the public and houses three different galleries dedicated to commemorating the rich history of the Bronx. Exhibits at the museum rotate bi-annually. If you have young children, perhaps the best thing about the Valentine-Varian House is its close proximity to the Williamsbridge Oval. This wonderful public park is the perfect place for the kids to let loose after taking part in the educational programming offered at the Museum of Bronx History. The Valentine-Varian House is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays, and during the week by appointment. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children and seniors.
