Fall Harvest and Husk

Long before the borough of Manhattan was populated by 1.6 million New Yorkers, it was inhabited by the Lenape Indian tribe, who called it 'Mannahatta.' Kids can explore the history of the island and its original residents at this fall-themed exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York. They'll learn what the Lenape ate, where they lived, what they wore and how they survived the elements. Then, kids will make their own corn-husk dolls to celebrate the harvest season. No RSVP required.
