Special Event: Woolworth Building & City Hall Park History Experience
July 18 @ 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
One Day Only!
Join us for a special three-hour historical journey through the heart of Lower Manhattan.
For one day only, combine our signature Woolworth Building Tour with our popular City Hall Park & Newspaper Row Tour and enjoy both experiences for the price of one.
Begin inside the legendary Woolworth Building, once known as the “Cathedral of Commerce.” Explore its breathtaking lobby, learn the story of Frank W. Woolworth and America’s first retail empire, and discover the architectural and engineering innovations that made this skyscraper an icon of New York City.
Then continue outside into City Hall Park, where centuries of New York and American history come together. Walk through the city’s historic civic center and uncover stories of the American Revolution, newspaper empires, political intrigue, P.T. Barnum, the Newsboys, Boss Tweed, and the remarkable events that helped shape New York City and the nation.
