Although it’s home to more somber exhibits like “Slavery in New York,” and various monuments to 9/11, this museum still knows how to have fun. With regular family programs that include classic board game playing, drumming, Afro-Caribbean dance, and poster-making, the New-York Historical Society offers parents and children a chance to work together on a variety of projects, all with New York-infused themes. Keeping with the overall aim to cover the social and political histories of New York, “Creative Campaigning” is a workshop where you can help your children design their own buttons and posters for a mock political campaign, using the “Suspicious Truths” exhibit as a guide.
