Northern Forts Tour of Central Park on March 15, 2019 at 12:30pm. Tickets are $15.

Central Park’s north end played an important role in both the American Revolution and the War of 1812. The area’s high ground and expansive views made it an important strategic outlook, while its rocky and swampy terrain made it difficult to infiltrate. This area is now known as the Fort Landscape, where forts have been integrated into the Park’s designs as overlooks. History buffs will love this tour of several fort sites and the Harlem Meer.

Meet: Charles A. Dana Discovery Center (inside the Park at 110th Street between Lenox and Fifth Avenues). Tour ends near the Park perimeter at 106th Street and Fifth Avenue. Map of start location
