“The museum is a unique secret on Staten Island,” noted Borough President James Oddo. “It played an important role in history. Antonio Meucci, the true inventor of the telephone, lived there and actually had a working telephone in his home. And Giuseppe Garibaldi was a true hero to many people. It’s exciting that we have this living history right down the street.”
