Description
On July 4, 1976, the New York City Transit Exhibit was opened in the decommissioned underground station as part of the United States Bicentennial celebration, with one subway token for admittance. Old subway cars which had been preserved, as well as models and other exhibits were displayed. Plans were to close the exhibition after the celebration, but it proved to be so popular that it remained open and eventually became a permanent museum.
