Sorry for the short notice change, but we want the event during better weather. Hope you can still make it.
Join us for a special walking tour led by our friend Greg, a licensed NYC guide and history enthusiast!
We will visit three historic Fort Tryon, Cloisters.., representing 400 years of New York City history.

The northern tip of Manhattan—today’s Inwood—was one of the last areas with strong Lenape presence.
- A Lenape settlement called Shorakkapoch was located in this area
- The famous symbolic “purchase” is often associated with the whole island, but actual Dutch control expanded gradually, not all at once
- Even after 1626, Lenape people continued living in northern Manhattan for some time
This is a joint event with Dharma Drink Meetup.
