Event Registration

The Greenpoint and Williamsburg waterfronts may be undergoing a glamorous transformation, but their powerful industrial history still lingers just below the surface. On this tour we will visit sites and hear stories of extraordinary and explosive events from three different centuries of North Brooklyn history. We’ll discuss the infamous disasters that have shaped these neighborhoods and their residents for generations to come, and, on the way, we’ll safely encounter some lesser-known disasters that have continued into the present day. Comfortable shoes recommended.
