LESBIAN HERSTORY: Walking Tour of Greenwich Village

Join us for stroll of Greenwich Village as we explore the lesbian community’s connections to one of the world’s most famous neighborhoods. We’ll cover places that speak to the evolution of the lesbian bar, from the 1910s onward, and gathering spots run by women for women that popped up in the Village in the 1970s. Stops along the way include the former homes of notable lesbians who have helped shape American history and culture.

The tour, led by the founders and manager of the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project, will last approximately 1 1/2 hours. Meet under the Arch in Washington Square Park. Walking tour will take place rain or shine.

To register groups of 5 or more, please contact us at info@nyclgbtsites.org.

This is a fundraising tour; all money raised will support the ongoing work of the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project.

Select events are funded, in part, by grants from New York Community Trust, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, and New York City Tourism Foundation.
