Join urban explorer Steve Duncan as he takes you on a walk recounting the history of this watercourse, how it impacted the city’s development, and how it was altered underground.

 Considered perhaps the most famous neighborhood in the world, Greenwich Village has been home to outcasts of diverse persuasions—from “half-free” Africans to working-class immigrants; from artists to politicians—for almost four hundred years. In his magisterial new book, cultural commentator John Strausbaugh weaves an absorbing narrative history of the Village, a tapestry that unrolls from its origins as a rural frontier of New Amsterdam in the 1600s through its long reign as America’s Left Bank in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from its seat as the epicenter of the gay rights movement to its current status as a supremely desirable residential area. Join John Strausbaugh as he brings to life this diverse history. The Village: A History of Greenwich Village will be available for sale and signing.
GVSHP’s programs are generously funded by: the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York State Council on the Arts, City Council members Rosie Mendez and Margaret Chin and Speaker Christine Quinn through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and GVSHP members.
