Antonio Meucci, an inventor of Italian heritage, once lived in the house that is now the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum. Giuseppe Garibaldi, for whom the museum is also named, was a hero who unified Italy, and once also called the house a home and refuge. The museum strives to maintain and teach about the legacy that these men had, particularly for those of Italian-American heritage, and offers classes about Italian art, culture, and more. Exhibits within the museum teach about the lives of these two men as well as the impact of Italian culture on modern day America.
