Ever since New York was founded, its strength and beauty have drawn people from around the world, seeking to be part of a truly spectacular city.

Underneath this facade, however, is an interesting history revealing itself in small bits and overlooked hints. Our walk will explore New York’s history through the story of Battery Park, on Manhattan’s southern tip. What were the forces that shaped the city, making it what it is today?

The park holds clues to some of the pillars that the city stands on today, and character traits that were formed by the city’s (and its dwellers) struggle for survival in its early years.

Wear your comfy walking shoes as we walk around the park, admire its monuments, take a look at the bay and continue to Bowling Green and the museum of Native Americans. Did anyone say Alexander Hamilton? He’ll be there too!
