LOST INWOOD
— The Story of DYCKMAN STREET–
TUESDAY June 3rd, 7:30PM at THE INWOOD FARM
On Tuesday June 3rd 7:30pm, Lost Inwood invites you on a journey through time with a new program by Cole Thompson entitled “A History of Dyckman Street”—an epic story spanning more than 10,000 years.
We’ll start with mastodons wandering through dense uptown forests and the Lenape fishing along Spuyten Duyvil Creek. We’ll discover local Dutch farms, colonial taverns, and the arrival of the subway which transformed the neighborhood.
Along the way, we’ll hear tales of Prohibition-era speakeasies, gangland intrigue, cherished ice cream parlors, movie houses, and the lived experiences of immigrants from Ireland, the Dominican Republic, Japan, and beyond—each adding their voice to the story of The Dyckman.
So please joins us! Tuesday June 3rd 7:30pm at THE INWOOD FARM, 600 W.218th Street. It’s free to the public, but reservations are highly recommended. This is the final Lost Inwood event before our summer break—don’t miss it.
