The starting location of this tour is the intersection of W 100th St and Central Park West on the park side (near Tarr Family Playground).

Join licensed tour guide Bruce Racond to uncover Central Park’s hidden Revolutionary War history! This walking tour explores some of Central Park’s most beautiful but least-known areas—including the grounds of historic forts and other sites from the war. You’ll encounter great vistas, hear captivating stories, and see vivid images and maps transporting you back to the 18th century as you experience the history of the land that would become Central Park.

Note: Part of the trail is on a steep incline on dirt, rock, and tree roots and there are uneven stairs. Attendees should be at a moderate fitness level and expect approximately 2.5 miles of walking.

This walking tour will be held on Saturday, September 21 and Sunday, September 22.
