Program Description

Event Details

We’ll take a “virtual walking tour” with Dana Schulz of the Historic Districts Council in this pre-recorded video session and explore: Christmas trees in New York that predate the Rockefeller Center tree, two neighborhoods vying for the title of “World’s Largest Menorah,” the restaurant where O. Henry penned “The Gift of the Magi,” and of course those famous window displays at Macy’s and Lord & Taylor, and more!

Presented by the Genealogical Society of Rockland County and the New City Library. Brief Genelogical Society business will take place prior to the program. Non-members always welcome to attend!
