When New Amsterdam Became New York: September 8, 1664
Uncover the story of how Peter Stuyvesant lost the Dutch colony to the British, marking the end of an era.
Join us as we explore the surprising and lightly visited North Woods of Central Park on a virtual talk with tour guide Fred Pflantzer. See the mystical landscape designed by Frederick Olmsted, Calvert Vaux, and Jacob Wrey Mould come to life. The stroll between the area defining Huddlestone and Glen Span arches is one of the parks’ most scenic. Utilizing artfully constructed videos, photographs, and an expert’s live narration, you will experience the waterfalls, forest, geology, and abundant birdlife of the North Woods. Learn about Central Park’s unique rocky landscape, and the techniques used to construct its remarkable stone arches.
