New York and the American Revolution

Urban Park Rangers specialize in interpretation of historic turning points, both natural and man-made, in our city's long history. 

Revolutionary New York programs focus on the history of New York during the pre- and post-Colonial Period. The park today was once home to Fort Putnam, which was later renamed after General Greene for the war of 1812.
