Searching for San Juan Hill Walking Tour IN-PERSON PROGRAM

In the early 1900s, the San Juan Hill neighborhood was the center of Black New York. Dotted with tenement and theaters, churches and civic organizations, it was vibrant and pulsing with Progressive Era innovation. But by the middle of the century it was all but gone, a casualty of Robert Moses, who declared it a slum and razed it to make way for Lincoln Center. On this walking tour, we will find the traces of San Juan Hill that remain, discovering the places that anchored the area and the people who made it a dynamic community. Led by public historian Nancy Beiles

Meeting Place: The Revson Fountain at the Lincoln Center Plaza on Columbus Avenue and West 64th Street. Please note, we will NOT meet at DOROT.

Please arrive 10 minutes early before the tour to meet with the group.

Please wear comfortable shoes and consider bringing a bottle of water.
