Forever Learning Week: Madison Square Park Walking Tour & Happy Hour

Join Untapped New York’s Chief Experience Officer Justin Rivers, FCRH ’01, for a stroll around the secrets of one of New York City’s oldest public gathering spaces. Discover the story behind the monument to New York City’s first public Christmas tree. Uncover a historic tree in the park with a special history rooted in the park’s name. Learn about the park’s role in the invention of baseball. Locate the hidden mausoleum right next to the park, which is one of only two in the whole city. And, of course, there will be some lesser-known Fordham connections as well.

After the tour, join us for delicious afternoon fare and drinks at Old Town Bar, owned and operated by alumnus Gerard Meagher, FCRH ’74.

This event is part of Forever Learning Week 2022, sponsored by the Fordham University Alumni Association.
