[In-person tour] To mark the Great Emancipator’s actual birthday, historian Matt Postal revisits the Civil War metropolis, considering a particularly historic stretch of lower Broadway, from the site of Barnum’s American Museum to present-day SoHo. Highlights include various 19th century structures associated with the 16th president and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, including Matthew Brady’s gallery and daguerreotype studio, the Haughwout department store, as well as theaters, saloons, and related amusements.
In-person tours are limited to 20 attendees and are held outdoors. Walking tours bring individuals into close proximity with each other, we therefore ask that all tour goers wear masks during the tours, regardless of vaccination status. Your tour guide and your fellow tour participants will thank you for your cooperation. Should the tours happen to venture indoors, many places require masks and/or proof of vaccination, so please be prepared to have both with you.
MAS Walking Tours last approximately 2 hours. Meeting location is provided with registration.
