Looking to inspire a future President? Need a Photo-Op for your Facebook Presidents’ Day posting? Want to view artifacts from many of the occupants of the Executive Office?
Then it’s time for you to check out the N.Y. Historical Society’s ongoing exhibit – “Meet the Presidents and the Oval Office”.
This Presidents’ Day, consider a trip to the Upper West Side, and pose for a selfie in a 1980s era replica of the Oval Office complete with Reagan’s signature jelly bean jar sitting atop a duplicate of the Resolute Desk. The exhibit’s historical items include Washington’s inaugural Bible and a student scrapbook chronicling JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
