Join The Bronx County Historical Society’s Director of Education Roger McCormack and Bronx community members for a two-hour walking tour of the Grand Concourse Historic District. The tour will chronicle the history of the Grand Concourse — the Champs-Élysées of the Bronx — and its impact on the Bronx’s development. The Grand Concourse was conceived as part of the City Beautiful Movement throughout the U.S., and is renowned for Art-Deco architecture. Urban planning and public/private investment within the southern portion of the Bronx will be reviewed, highlighting changes in neighborhood demographics and land uses along the Grand Concourse. This includes the siting of public and private facilities that continue through today — such as a museum, community center and the newly built Yankee Stadium. Admission for the tour is $20 for AIA and The Historical Society members and $30 for the general public.
