Stepping into the Huntington Free Library is like stepping
back into the late 19th century. The ca. 1883 building still contains
much of its original furniture, and historic items placed throughout
the library - such as vintace typewriters, a 1901 wood sculpture of
the library and a 1917 Tiffany grandfather's clock - only add to its
charm. The library's collections consist of a general reading room focusing
on Bronx History, open Monday - Friday, 1:30 - 4:30, and a famous Native
American collection of research materials, open only by appointment.
The library also offers performances and lectures on borough history
and Native American cultures.
