MONTCLAIR, NJ -- TAPintoTV recently visited the Montclair History Center and took a tour of the Crane House and Historic YWCA. The building dates from 1796, when Israel Crane built it as his family home, and in 1920, it was purchased by the local YWCA as a boarding house and cultural hub for African-American women.
Today, the Montclair History Center tells the stories of all the people who have lived in the Crane House over the years, starting with Crane, a prominent businessman, his enslaved and immigrant domestic workers, his descendents, and the African-American women of the YWCA. You can explore this history during tours of the Crane House, which are conducted year-round.
