Spring means walking tour weather! Henry Street Settlement is excited to partner with the Close Friends Collective for another year of Queer History Walking Tours of the Lower East Side and East Village. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
The tour will begin with Henry Street Settlement, where you will learn about founder Lillian Wald's intentional community of women, and will end at Bluestockings Cooperative, a Lower East Side queer and trans worker-owned bookstore. In between, every tour is different! Frequent stops include monuments of queer creativity and cruising, 20th century watering holes, and the homes of icons like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Martin Wong, and Alvin Baltrop.
Tickets are $20, plus five free tickets are available for each tour, first-come, first-served. Tour dates, tickets, and more information can be found directly at HenryStreet.org/QueerHistoryTour.
