Overview
The skilled craftsmen of New York founded The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen in 1785, and the organization’s history is aligned with the city’s physical and cultural development. In 1820, The Society founded its library. It began a lecture series in 1837 and opened the Mechanics Institute in 1858 to provide free education in the trades. Prominent New York members included Andrew Carnegie, Peter Cooper, Abram S. Hewitt and Duncan Phyfe. The Society’s educational programs continue to improve the lives of New Yorkers while fostering an innovative and inventive spirit. Historian Polly Guérin presents the distinguished history of this essential New York institution.
