The Hidden (and Not So Hidden) World War I Memorials and Monuments of Central Park

This will be a guided tour which will encompass the eight World War I memorials and monuments located in Central Park. The majority of the sites that we will visit are scattered around the Central Park Mall. Starting at the 107th Infantry Memorial, we will visit six other Memorials and a Regimental Grove, that all pay homage to the men and women who participated in the War. At each commentary stop, I will gladly answer any questions. During the course of the tour, we will explore the impact of World War I on America and New York City. The walk will end by the Naumberg Bandshell, where I will discuss the John Purroy Mitchell Memorial located in a different section of the park. My goal for this tour, is to keep the memory of history from fading, from being forgotten. Come hungry for a big dose of HISTORY and to be inspired.
