Historic Washington Heights: See historic sites from the Revolutionary War through the 1960s as we walk through central Washington Heights. Highlights include Audubon Terrace and the newly reopened Hispanic Society (we will not go inside); the Trinity Uptown Cemetery; Morris- Jumel Mansion and Sylvan Terrace; and the former Audubon Ballroom, best known as the site where Malcolm X was assassinated. It concludes at Mitchel Square Park, a World War I Memorial. Wear comfortable shoes and a sunhat; bring water. We may visit two community bookstores if they are open that day.
Accessibility
The pace of the walk is leisurely. It is no more than 1.5 miles of walking. You will be near public transportation so if at any point you wish to leave, you will have easy access to mass transit. Although I estimate the tour will take two hours, it could go more quickly.
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
