Manhattan’s North Coast-The George McAneny Edition

Janes Walk

Led By Gail Addiss and Edie Ricks AND Edie Ricks, architect

Meet George McAneny, an early 20th century planner and civic leader who both preserved and built this area that Olmsted described as, “1800 acres of very rugged and beautiful ground.” Starting at the 12-mile post at Broadway and historic Isham Park we’ll walk north to Spuyten Duyvil, passing a marble arch from a former estate, see a new waterfront park and in Inwood Park large glacial stones used by Native Americans centuries ago.
