Coney Island is one of New York City’s most iconic destinations. First established as a secluded seaside resort, its reputation for natural and man-made delights spurred demand for broader public access. This interest sparked fierce competition to increase the ease, speed, and affordability of transport to Coney Island.
The New York Transit Museum recently expanded its digital photograph collection documenting Coney Island’s development. Join Transit Museum archivist Joanna Satalof to learn more about this project, as well as our colleague from Coney Island USA, Artistic Director Adam Rinn, who will expand on the neighborhood’s unique history.
