Event Details

Take a walking photographic tour of Governors Island along with commentary describing each photo. Often confused with other New York islands, Governors Island is located just 800 yards from lower Manhattan. From 1776, and up until 1996, the island has served as a military post for various branches of the military. The lecture and slide presentation will take you on a walking tour of the island highlighting its history, architecture, and its many sites including Fort Jay, Liggett Hall, and Castle Williams.
