Featuring multimedia, video animations, and 3D models that illustrate the major events of the colonial era, including a breathtaking video-animation of the devastating fire in 1776 that destroyed 500 buildings – homes, churches, schools, stores, and factories. Among the artifacts on display are original artworks that depict the Wall of Wall Street, the first fire engines, 1770 New York neighborhoods, and maps as New York City grew. Together the art, the artifacts, and the animations re-create the life of New York in the maelstrom of the American Revolution.[Image: New York City Fire Museum]
