Learn the story of the Sherman Creek Generating Station

See how a Con Edison substation powers NYC

Visit sites where subway cars and buses are repaired

Discover why Marble Hill belongs to Manhattan, not the Bronx

Discover the essential infrastructure that keeps New York City running on this behind-the-scenes tour of Inwood. Led by an expert energy professional, you’ll learn how electricity reaches our homes at a Con Edison substation, uncover the story of the once–cutting-edge Sherman Creek Generating Station, and visit major transit hubs like the 207th Street Repair Yard and Kingsbridge Bus Depot where subway cars and buses are maintained. These sites reveal the often-unseen systems that power and move millions of New Yorkers every day.

As you explore Manhattan’s northernmost neighborhood, you’ll also uncover fascinating geographic quirks and local history. Cross bridges into the Bronx and back again as you learn the unusual story of Marble Hill, stop by pocket parks and the site of a lost baseball field, and enjoy scenic views along the Harlem River Ship Canal. This tour offers a rare look at the infrastructure, engineering, and ingenuity hidden in plain sight.
