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.
