Step back in time to the earliest days of New York City’and learn the story of the very first Jewish immigrants who arrived in the colonial period and forever shaped the city’s (and the nation’s) history’on this private walking tour. Meet your guide outside the National Museum of the American Indian, and venture to historic monuments like Castle Clinton, Federal Hall, and more, all while immersing yourself in your guide’s stories.
At Castle Clinton, we’ll learn the history of the fort (built for the War of 1812) and it’s role as an immigration hub in NYC from 1855-1890. Today, this is where tickets are sold for Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
