About the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum: The Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, formerly known as the Garibaldi Memorial, is a circa 1840 Gothic Revival cottage in Staten Island, New York. It was home to inventor and candle maker Antonio Meucci (1808-1889). The Italian revolutionary and political leader Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882) lived there from 1851 to 1853. After a major restoration, the museum was rededicated in a ceremony on July 11, 2009, involving museum president John Dabbene, Salvatore Lanzilotta, president of the New York State Order of the Sons of Italy in America, and U.S. Congressional Representative Michael McMahon. The site was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is located at 420 Tompkins Ave. Staten Island, NY 10305 (718) 442-1608.
