Event Details

The New York City we know today is a world completely apart from the one early Dutch colonists created in the 1620s. But the street layout of Lower Manhattan remains relatively unchanged from that time. Join Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site Manager Michael Lord on a journey back to the New York of the Philipses’ era – from the 1640s to the American Revolution. We’ll stop at Philipse-related properties around the city, learn about the locations of major events like the Insurrection of 1712, the Conspiracy of 1741 and the Great Fire of 1776, and get a feel for the street-level view of this historic city through time.

This program is co-sponsored by the Yonkers Historical Society.
