Morrisania Village was the earliest (1848) dense settlement of what later became the Bronx west of the Bronx River. We will walk through parts of its 200 acre footprint, see original churches and homes, and sites that still bear the imprint of the original community of immigrants and native born Americans. We will learn about how the Village was settled, how the Villagers’ lives, and how the Village became part of the Bronx.
