NYC Revolutionary Trail App

Think you know the Revolution? Think again. Experience the city at the heart of the Revolution in this walking tour of lower Manhattan (now a free smartphone app sponsored by the Downtown Alliance) featuring audio narration, site information, character profiles, video, image, text, lesson plans, and more.

NYC Revolutionary Trail, a multimedia walking tour which reframes NYC as “the city at the heart of the Revolution,” is now a free smartphone app sponsored by the Downtown Alliance. It is also the basis of “The Occupied City,” a giant exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York opening May 1st and co-presented by The Gotham Center for New York City History, at The Graduate Center (City University of New York). In June, the Gotham Center will also be releasing Echoes of Revolution: NYC, a gamified version of the Trail using augmented reality from the universe of Assassin’s Creed, developed in partnership with Ubisoft and Sugar Creative.
