Join us for a walking tour of Central Park in support of One World Project, lead by historian Stephen Petrus. Stephen is the Director of Public History Programs at LaGuardia and Wagner Archives at LaGuardia Community College. He is a twentieth-century U.S. urban and cultural historian who has led more than 1,000 historical walking tours of New York City neighborhoods and parks.

Since the 1860s Central Park has acted as the “lungs” of the city, providing a refuge from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan for residents and tourists alike. This tour will explore Manhattan’s collective backyard. You will learn about the physical construction of the park, visit the scenic “literary walk,” enjoy the architectural details in the Bethesda Arcade and Terrace, and stroll through the rustic Ramble. Stops also include the Sheep Meadow, Belvedere Castle, Bow Bridge, and Cleopatra’s Needle.

Note: While we love your children, we ask that this event be just for adults only.
