Happy Veterans Day! Today, NYC is honoring all who have served in the military for their courage, commitment, and sacrifices. This Veterans Day, be sure to explore @NYHistory’s Veterans Day Digital Family Guide, where youth can learn about the service of veterans past and present through The New York Historical’s collection. Within the Veterans Day Family Guide is “We the People,” an installation by #PercentforArtNYC artist @NariWard. Created entirely from shoelaces donated by museum visitors and New York City students, this installation honors the first three words of the U.S. Constitution. By transforming the words of the Constitution’s Preamble by using an everyday material like shoelaces, the work invites viewers to consider the enduring values that define our nation and reflect on how these ideals resonate in our individual lives. Visit “We The People” on the second floor stairwell at the museum and check out the link in our bio to explore the Veterans Day Digital Family Guide. #NYCulture #NYC 📷: Nari Ward (born 1963), “We the People” (The New York Historical version), 2017.

From @caroclaireburke's book Yesteryear to the enduring popularity of influencers like Hannah Neeleman, tradwives are a persistent part of online culture. But the ideal of re-creating an idealized past is nothing new. Fashion historian @laurakitty tells us how colonial revivalism and the resurgence of women in the home are both often tied to big moments in American history, including the 1876 and 1976 anniversaries of the founding of the US.

How it all began 🌲as the Rockefeller Christmas Tree is installed in its new home, we thought we'd take a look at a bit of heartwarming New York history... Though the first official ceremony was held in 1933, the tradition of the Rockefeller Christmas Tree actually began on Christmas Eve 1931, when workers on the site of the new Rockefeller Center put up a 20 ft balsam tree and decorated it with paper garlands, strings of cranberries, and a few ornaments. The construction of Rockefeller Center, begun on May 17, 1930, took place during the worst years of the Great Depression, a time when 64 percent of building trade workers in NYC were unemployed. In spite of this, these men decided to pool their own money to purchase a tree. After erecting their Christmas tree, the group of workers then lined up to receive their paychecks, distributed by a foreman standing behind a wooden crate. 📷 The 1931 tree, courtesy of Tishman Speyer 07 Nov 2026

Is YOUR teen TATCTCE (texting about Thomas Cole's The Course of Empire)? Reference our handy guide to find out just what they're saying 📱 🎨 Thomas Cole's The Course of Empire is a series of five paintings depicting the rise and fall of an imaginary civilization, from the early, pastoral days of civilization, to its height and eventual downfall. 🖌️ Small symbols within the painting give us hints at the broader narrative — a man learning geometry indicates the progression of civilization, while a boy sinking his brother's toy boat hints at its eventual violent downfall. 🙅 The artist's distinctly pessimistic vision differed from that of many of his peers; in the early years of the United States' history, its future was considered limitless. 🖼️ You can see all five paintings in this series on view in our new Tang Wing, at The New York Historical. 06 Nov 2026

“The eye of the Village Voice”, photographer Fred W. McDarrah was born a century ago today. Immersed in the cultural scene and social awakenings of downtown New York from the 1950s onwards, he matched prophetically good timing with a diaristic lens and participatory insight. Housed at The New York Historical, McDarrah’s archive offers a comprehensive view of a place and time that greatly shaped wider society, art, and politics.⁠ ⁠ We see the Beat Generation at their ‘50s pinnacle, their influence on the approaching decade along with the fragmentation as one movement gives way to another. Warhol and his superstars are here in the Factory. McDarrah travels with them from upstarts to mainstream, a final image of the late artist’s grave. Events are captured from the inside looking out, be it demonstrations, parties, or performances, while faces are shown in action, lively and candid. His camera follows emerging icons, talents only New York could have nurtured, others adopted, including Bob Dylan, Gloria Steinem, James Baldwin, Robert Kennedy, and Yoko Ono.⁠ ⁠ Crucially, the McDarrah archive contains one of the few visual accounts of the early gay liberation movement and its evolution into LGBTQ Pride. From the Mattachine Society “Sip-In” at Julius’ Bar on 10th Street in 1966 to the Stonewall Riot of 1969, the first marches on Christopher Street to rare images of Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, each individual image speaks of a life. Together, the work forms a powerful and dedicated historic record.⁠ ⁠ The New York Historical are hosting a special event to mark the centenary, Primary Source: McDarrah at 100.
