Event Registration

[Virtual] In honor of the Municipal Art Society’s 130th birthday, we’ll retrace the steps of the first MAS walking tour of April 8, 1956, with a virtual visit to Madison Square and Gramercy Park as they appeared then and as they appear 67 years later. We will also take a lingering look at the life and career of the great Henry Hope Reed, who organized and co-led the first tour, established the walking tour as a part of the city’s culture, and did so, so much more for the cause of historic preservation and, more critically, the way we all see and value New York.
