2020 Event Successes

Virtual Tour of NYC’s Historic Landmarks

The August LU event held on the 4th had a great turnout with over 50 attendees. A post-event survey indicated attendees ranked this a 4.5/5.0. A special thank you goes out to New York Landmarks Conservancy and Peg Breen for the great shared content. While originally planned to be a onsite boat tour, the Pandemic environment led to a webinar version of this event. The tour consisted of a discussion of 26 of the city’s historic buildings, from museums, to churches, to libraries and beyond adapted from the YouTube video series “Tourist in your Own Town”. Take advantage of the wealth of additional videos available online. If this content and the webinar was interesting and informative please feel free to make a nominal donation to the Landmarks Conservancy at www.nylandmarks.org. The NY Landmark Conservancy formed in 1973 and is dedicated to preserving and protecting the extraordinary architectural heritage and character of New York City.
