Explore the Tuck High, Co. Store at the New York State Museum

Step inside the historic Tuck High Co. store nestled in the NYSM's New York Metropolis Hall. Originally owned and operated by three generations of the Lee family in Chinatown, NYC, the Tuck High Co. store was the oldest continuously operating business in Manhattan’s Chinatown at the time of its closure in 1980. To preserve its significance, the Lee family transferred many of the store's original contents including counters, a cash register, lamps, tools, and receipts to the museum. This virtual tour immerses you in a lovingly preserved space, from its original wooden fixtures to the bustling spirit of a shop that connected generations.
