Visit the site of the original City Hall

Learn about the Dutch fort, early battery and first windmill

Follow the layout of the early settlement using an authentic historic map

Step back into the earliest days of New York and wander through the places where Dutch New Amsterdam first took shape. This walking journey through lower Manhattan reveals how a small settlement at the edge of the world transformed into a thriving city. With an early map of Manhattan as your guide, you will follow the original shoreline, uncover the stories behind its streets and learn how the foundations of a global metropolis were laid. Every corner offers a glimpse into a past filled with myth, ambition and remarkable resilience.

As you explore the heart of the old settlement, you will encounter surviving relics that connect directly to the citys earliest chapters. Stand on the site of the first City Hall, examine remnants of the original battery and discover locations that once held vital structures such as the Dutch fort and windmill. You will also learn the surprising origins of Bowling Green and understand why it has remained a meaningful landmark for centuries. This immersive walk offers a rare chance to physically engage with the history that shaped New York as we know it today.
