MSP History Tour: The Gilded Age, Before, & Beyond

Join Executive Director Holly Leicht to explore the colorful history of Madison Square Park and the surrounding neighborhood. From pre-colonial times to today, the park has been at the center of social, cultural and political happenings in New York City. Look forward to tidbits about local figures, fun facts and light exercise as we journey to the past throughout the park.

Free and open to the public, no tickets are required. We encourage registration to receive event updates.

Tour meets at the north west corner of the park at 5th Ave and 26th Street.
