Postcard Thursday: Civil War New York

Happy Thanksgiving!

In case you missed it, James had a piece on Curbed NY a couple of days ago commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Confederate plot to burn New York during the Civil War. The article looks at a dozen or so sites that were important during the war and are still standing.

You can read the article here:

And don't forget that reservations are open for our December 7 walking tour:

Hope you are having a great holiday weekend!
