Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Tour

This Municipal Art Society tour, with Kate Papacosma, highlights key destinations created by Prospect Park co-designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux commencing in 1866. We’ll follow the Park’s winding watercourse through meadows and woods, discussing how residents of Brooklyn, a thriving independent city from 1834 to 1898, sought to create a park to compete with New York’s Central Park. The Park’s backstory is dramatic and fascinating.
