Travel back in time as you join Village Preservation in Washington Square Park for a guided walking tour filled with activities for the whole family. Learn about the original inhabitants of the land and how Washington Square Park was developed. Put on your detective hat and search out clues to help tell the history of the area, concluding with an architectural scavenger hunt at the Washington Square Arch.
