About this event
CANCELLED - Sunday, June 22, 2025, 10:00 AM
Since th
e 19th century, the neighborhood has been home to clubs, schools, residences, political institutions, and professional associations catering exclusively to women. The women who founded, joined, lived, worked and learned in these institutions used them to shape their lives, their city, and their nation.
On this walking tour we will dive into the architectural and social history of these establishments, and delve into more than 100 years of local women's history through the spaces they made their own.
This tour will begin in front of the Colony Club (564 Park Avenue at 62nd Street). It ends at 217 East 86th Street.
Optional After Tour Lunch
For those who want to join us, we will be having lunch afterwards at Green Kitchen at 2nd Avenue and 84th Street. Cost not included.
