Garibaldi-Meucci Museum
A small museum on Staten Island's North Shore preserving the home where Antonio Meucci (the disputed inventor of the telephone) and Giuseppe Garibaldi (the leader of Italian unification) lived together in the 1850s while Garibaldi was in U.S. exile. Operated by the Order Sons of Italy in America, the museum holds Meucci's working papers, Garibaldi's exile-era letters, and one of NYC's most-significant Italian-American historical collections.

Why this listing
The borough’s immigrant-heritage layer is plural — Italian-American, free Black, and many other communities each hold their own institutions. The Garibaldi-Meucci Museum is the institutional layer for the Italian-American story specifically; the building is the place where two consequential historical figures lived together. Listed as knowledge-care because the institution is what keeps the artifacts and the story present.
