Students will compare and contrast historic and contemporary New York City, from the Colonial era to the 19th Century, through the lens Greenwich Village architecture, examing how a neighborhood changes over time. The program includes historic and contemporary photo comparisons, a walking tour around Washington Square Park, and an art project where students will create a picture frame based on their memories of the symbols and stories found in the Arch.
Program 2:
Immigration in the South Village (Grades 1-8)
