Lost Inwood: Special Reserve Edition

LOST INWOOD 

-Special Reserve Edition-

-TUESDAY APRIL 2nd, 7:30PM at THE INWOOD FARM

Greetings!

Over the course of fifteen years and over 150 installments of Lost Inwood, we’ve come to expect two questions after each presentation.

1) “How do you pronounce the word Isham?” And

2) “Where do you find all these old photographs?”

This Tuesday we’ll put the Isham question to rest before exploring a vast world of local historic photos, curated largely from private sources.  We’ll also hear the incredible backstories of the images, and discuss their miraculous return to the neighborhood.

Please join us Tuesday April 2nd 7:30PM at the INWOOD FARM. It’s a free presentation. Reservations are recommended.

It’s become an annual tradition at LOST INWOOD where we invite you behind the scenes and talk about new projects and discoveries. Each and every year we uncover new photos and stories, and 2023’s batch is awesome.

-Interested in the Fort George Amusement Park? We have a great new collection of images for you.

Revolutionary War buff? We solve the puzzle of Thomas Davies’s 1776 battle painting of Inwood.

-Love Panoramas? Our friends at the Kingsbridge Historical Society have unearthed some gems.

Dyckman Farmhouse fan? Rare INTERIOR shots from when the museum opened in 1916, and more.

-Inwood’s urbanization in the early 1900s. New images show just how quickly it happened.

-What about today’s news? Buildings are going up, but some interesting preservation efforts are in the works.

History is fun. Please join us Tuesday December 5th 7:30PM at the INWOOD FARM. It’s a free presentation. Reservations are recommended.
