Mannahatta's Natural Resources: Mollusks

One of this month's Family Saturday programs at the South Street Seaport Museum offers tots a tour of the exhibit "Mannahatta: Manhattan in 1609," a version of the fascinating show mounted by the Museum of the City of New York in 2009. Little ones tour the exhibit, which re-creates a model of the verdant land pre–European settlers, then cast a plaster model of one of the region's ancient inhabitants: the mollusk. Ages 3 to 5.
