Community Spotlight: New Museum Exhibit Celebrates the Bronx's Role in Shaping America

As the nation commemorates America's 250th anniversary, the Bronx County Historical Society has opened a new permanent exhibition at the Museum of Bronx History highlighting the borough's significant contributions to American history.
