Title: Audubon Park Historic District

URL: http://www.audubonparkny.com/

Description: "This website, which takes the form of a virtual walking tour, grew out of the successful effort to establish an Audubon Park Historic District on land in northern Manhattan that had once been part of John James Audubon's farm Minniesland. That effort was one of many community-focused initiatives undertaken by a group of people who have since coalesced into the Audubon Park Alliance. The Audubon Park virtual walk--or, actual walk if you live nearby and visit in person--focuses on Audubon Park’s history from about 1841 to 1915 and traces its development from farm to suburb to cityscape."

Description: "Christopher Park is located in the heart of Greenwich Village. Bounded by Grove Street, West 4th Street, and Christopher Street, the park has provided residents and tourists with a place to relax since its founding in 1837. In June 2016, President Obama designated the creation of Stonewall National Monument, based in Christopher Park. Creation of national monument, the first in America to honor the struggle for LGBTQI rights, entailed the transfer of the park from NYC to the National Park Service. Prior to the designation, the park was already included in the Stonewall listing as a National Historic Landmark as it was integral to the Stonewall riots of 1969."
