SUMMARY:Fresh Prints
DESCRIPTION:This open house will feature a breadth of printing equipment that you will be invited to use. You’ll get to see how the designers at Bowne lock up limited edition designs that showcase some of the more eccentric parts from the Seaport Museum’s printing and graphic arts collection. Established in 1775\, the original Bowne & Co.\, Inc. was one of New York’s oldest printing firms. The Bowne & Co. that you can experience today at the Seaport Museum is an offshoot of the original and continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing.

SUMMARY:Lafayette and the Gilded Age Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Afternoon of special programming exploring 19th century New York. Hear from speakers on topics including the Marquis de Lafayette’s return to America early in the century\, immigration to New York\, and the Gilded Age. This program will feature a lecture by Mike Duncan\, one of the foremost history podcasters in the world and the author of Hero of Two Worlds: The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution. In 1824-25\, the Marquis de Lafayette toured the United States of America\, visiting every state in the union. During that time\, he saw what America had become since the War of Independence—reveling in America’s accomplishments since the Revolution\, but also confronting the work still left to be done. The program will continue with a talk on 19th century immigration to New York City by Robert Snyder\, Manhattan Borough Historian and professor emeritus\, Rutgers University. As late as 1835\, New York was a city of 200\,000 people\, only 10 percent of whom were immigrants. By 1860\, it was a city of 800\,000\, that was 47 percent foreign-born. This talk will cover how Irish and German immigrants remade the city\, with transforming impacts on both politics and popular culture. This lecture will take place in-person and via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Wall Street Transformations through Time — Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:As the U.S. approaches its 250th birthday of the Declaration of Independence\, we will walk Wall Street to recall its colonial history\, recap its role as the banking center of capitalism\, and observe its recent rise of a reinvented residential neighborhood. Skyscraper Museum director Carol WIllis will lead a 90-minute walking tour that meets in front of Federal Hall\, at the juncture of Wall\, Broad\, and Nassau streets\, and weaves its way through the Financial District\, highlighting both the current uses of the landmark buildings that line Wall Street and discussing the generations of structures that occupied those sites and the cast of characters that populated this historic district.

SUMMARY:Gotham Park Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Gotham Park is a grass-roots community effort reimagining how spaces under the iconic Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan can become a new type of urban community park that nurtures connection\, curiosity\, wonder\, and resilience. The bridge is a sleeping giant\, a landmark recognized the world over\, but it lands in a fenced-off\, dark\, underutilized parking lot. Gotham Park is transforming that space into a neighborhood nexus connecting and strengthening residents\, businesses\, and communities. Built upon the spirit of the original Brooklyn Banks skate mecca\, Gotham Park will restore the Banks while expanding public space and access to create a variety of flexible play spaces that inspire\, engage and delight all ages. Woven together from the vaults\, arches\, and land beneath the Brooklyn Bridge\, Gotham Park is building a hyper-urban\, iconic public space for its communities\, by its communities.
