Located at the very edge of new York City, just beyond Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx and surrounded by the Long Island Sound and Eastchester Bay, City Island is a small community famous for its rich nautical history. Much of that history has been preserved by the Historical Society in the Nautical Museum.

The museum occupies the top floor of a historical former elementary school located on land that was once a Revolutionary War graveyard. The museum houses a rich collection of photos and artifacts on City Island and its rich boating history, such as ship sails, model boats, and a range of America’s Cup memorabilia.

Address: City Island Nautical Museum, 190 Fordham St, Bronx, NY 10464, Phone: 718-885-0008
