Why choose this New York City tour ?
For anyone interested in the American Jewish experience, this tour explores the origin story of a community that has been contributing to the American story since the earliest days of colonization. Later American Jewish history is much more heavily explored, but seldom do we explore the stories of the first Jews to the continent, the first synagogue, and the Jews of the Revolution. We will go back to the first permanent Jewish residents of North America, explore how they survived, thrived, and played an integral part in both American and Jewish history.

What makes Private Walking Tour: Jewish Colonial History in New York City a unique experience ?
At Castle Clinton, we’ll learn the history of the fort (built for the War of 1812) and it’s role as an immigration hub in NYC from 1855-1890. Today, this is where tickets are sold for Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
This glorious structure was built as a Customs House, but was also the site of the first fort built to defend the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam.
We’ll see the epicenter of the American financial system, as well as the Fearless Girl statue that boldly confronts the giant structure.
