Historic Richmond Town is a museum that shows what life was like in the late 1600s when Dutch people settled on the island. You can see 15 old buildings that have been fixed up, like a courthouse and a store. You can also go on a spooky tour to look for ghosts that people say are there. This spooky tour is best for those who like adventurous things to do in nyc. If you like nature, you can go for a walk in the big park around the museum, which is part of the Staten Island Greenbelt. Do you like to go "ghost hunting"?
