LOST INWOOD

– The Story of Fort Tryon Park –

 -TUESDAY FEBRUARY 3rd at 7:30PM-

Fort Tryon is home to one of NYC’s most beautiful parks as well as the Cloisters museum of medieval art. But in 1776 it was a battleground where thousands of British and American soldiers fought for posession of Manhattan. 

What’s its story? How did a bloody war zone become one of NYC’s most idyllic settings… and who is this guy named “Tryon” ?

On Tuesday Feb 3rd 7:30pm at LOST INWOOD we’ll delve into Fort Tryon Park and its many flavors: from colonial Dutch woodlot to Revolutionary War fort; from millionaires’ row to a cash-strapped artist’s studio; and from an oil tycoon’s happy place to a majestic public park. It’s a rich story.

Using rarely-seen photos, maps and archival documents, we’ll hear about the heroes, artists, speakeasies, millionaires and politicians who played a part in making fort Fort Tryon the gem it is today.

Please join us Tuesday Feb 3rd at 7:30pm. It’s free to the public, but reservations are highly recommended. Hope to see you there, and stay warm!
