Heritage Trail: Tracing NYC’s Foundations

Our annual shuttle tour is back, this time in Upper Manhattan and The Bronx! We’re teaming up with some incredible cultural organizations to offer a unique opportunity to trace New York City’s foundations across historic sites built between 1748 and 1836.

Travel by shuttle to three historic sites with an extra stop on our extended tour that includes a boxed lunch. Enjoy special crafts, activities, and delicious treats along the way. Learn about the lives of the people that lived and worked in these places including the Lenape, Dutch settlers, and enslaved Africans.
