Revolution in Old New York: Soldiers, Spies & Statesmen

2026 is the 250th anniversary of the country! Dive into the history of this important time period on this fun walking tour in Lower Manhattan.

This tour takes us from Bowling Green and the 1765 Stamp Act Riots all the way to NYC’s City Hall Park. It will discuss and narrate the events that took place in New York leading up to the war. And it will introduce you to unforgettable characters in our city’s wartime saga, such as Isaac Sears, Cadwallader Colden, and, of course, everyone’s favorite musical hero, Alexander Hamilton.

This is a two-hour tour that covers spies, battles, and a walk through Manhattan’s financial power center — the FiDi (Financial District).
