We’re thrilled to share our revamped and redesigned Greenwich Village Historic District Virtual Map, with more than two dozen themed tours that allow you to explore one of New York’s oldest, largest, and most beloved historic districts. 

Originally released in 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the landmark designation of the Greenwich Village Historic District in 1969, the new map utilizes the latest technology to make it more accessible and engaging, while updating imagery and adding information about the neighborhood. You can explore every one of over 2,200 buildings with “Then and Now” photos from the 1960s when landmark designation was first being considered and today. You can also take tours to explore Black History, Artists’ Homes and Haunts, Churches, Places Where the Course of History Changed, Edward Hopper’s Greenwich Village, Great Writers, Jewish History, Immigration Landmarks, LGBTQ+ History, Transformative Women, Theaters and Music Venues, the Most Charming Spots, and many more. 

(For the best experience exploring this map on a desktop or laptop computer, we suggest viewing this map with Google Chrome.)

This is just one of dozens of virtual maps and tours Village Preservation has created highlighting the history of our neighborhoods, from themes like Civil Rights and Social Justice, Women’s Suffrage, Hip-Hop, Bob Dylan, and Art Deco, Greek Revival and French Flats architecture to those covering various geographies such as the East Village, South of Union Square, and NoHo.
