This event is no longer on sale.

Saturday July 28

With the Roosevelt Island Tramway above it, the IND 63rd Street line below it, and NYC Ferry docking on its shores, Roosevelt Island today has no shortage of transportation options. Join Senior Museum Educator Katherine Reeves to explore the island formerly known as Welfare Island and to understand the ways its location and access points have influenced its development and the role it has played in New York City history.
