Videos About Central Park and NYC

Take a virtual walk in Central Park and learn about Alexander von Humboldt, an influence of both of the park's designers, Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted. Humboldt was a really remarkable individual. The Hudson River School of painting was inspired by his work as well. 

See the park area designed for ladies only (hint: they didn't appreciate it).

We're currently experiencing the pandemic of 2020, but spring is usually a lovely time to visit Central Park. Take a virtual walk in the park to view the beautiful blooming cherry trees and the historic boathouse.

Before Central Park came into being, the northern section of that area was used to protect the city from attack by the British army in the War of 1812 (the war never actually touched the area). 

We'll visit this and other pre-park sites. Apologies for the wind noise. It was pretty rough on my phone's internal microphone.  Take a walking tour with me: www.selectoursnyc.com

Enjoy more of one of the woodland in the middle of Central Park. 

Take a break from the COVID-19 stress and check out a hidden 1812 structure in Central Park's North Woods!
