This in-person guided group walk explores the multifaceted history of Union Square. We'll take a close look at its plazas and monuments, including the statue of Abraham Lincoln and the Tammany Hall Building, and touch upon the rich history of the Square as a site of political activism. On Friday’s tour, we’ll take a close look at the Greenmarket and its evolution; on Sunday’s tour, we’ll hear from representatives of the Union Square Partnership about the Union Square Vision Plan and next steps for this essential ‘prism of the city’, and we'll end the tour with a close-up look at the Center for Jewish History's Emma Lazarus exhibit.
