Gowanus Walking Tour

A walking tour that will explore the past, present, and future of Gowanus, as told through its pedestrian bridges.

Join Daniel Pecoraro, NYC tour guide, history educator, and longtime Interference Archive volunteer, for a walking tour of Gowanus. How did a natural creek become a canal; how did it become one of the most polluted sites in New York City; and how is it, in spite of the pollution, becoming one of the hottest neighborhoods in which to reside? And what all comes next? This tour will attempt to answer these questions, with a focus on the past, present, and future of Gowanus as told through its pedestrian bridges (and the Culver Viaduct), going south to north.

This event is part of programming around Our Streets! Our City! You can find more information about the exhibition here
