Views From the Past

As you promenade through the heart of Central Park, imagine yourself living in 19th-century New York City. Learn about the Park's history and hear how its designers, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, struggled to make their vision our reality. For directions, please call (212) 794-4064.

Groups of seven or more people should call (212) 360-2726 or email tours@centralparknyc.org to schedule a custom tour.
