In honor of our New York City trip, I’m putting out the best history related New York Twitter follows!
I point out that our trip will have something of an immigration bias in its focus–did I mention we homeschool?–so, may of my contributions, here, are reflective of that preparation! Commence singing in your best Sinatra impression, “New York…”
1. @NYHistory
Really wish we had the time this trip! It was awful walking past it and not being able to stop!
2. @StatueLibrtyNPS
Great trip! The teenager was especially moved listening to the immigrants share their first sightings of Lady Liberty.
3. @EllisIslandNPS
This is a good follow if you’re interested in Ellis Island and immigration news.
4. @metmuseum
Frequently tweeting profiles of the pieces in their vast collection!!
5. @tenementmuseum
Even better than Ellis Island for current immigration policy discussions and urban life.
6. @nypl
News about libraries and gems from the collection!
7. @AFBurialGrndNPS
Great resource for history of slaves and their progeny in this country!
8. @mocamuseum
Great museum about the Chinese experience in America! Worth the trip, follow for related news.
