Join us for a unique museum exhibit and walking tour to explore New York City in the 1960s! The counter culture, creativity and political activism was in full swing in neighborhoods such a Greenwich Village, which was a mecca for visual artists, musicians, writers and people seeking an alternative lifestyle. In fact this was phenomenon that started in the early 20th century.
The 1960s was the time and place of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, of Allen Ginsberg, of Andy Warhol, of The Velvet Underground, of protests against the Vietnam War, and the Stonewall Riots. Off- Broadway Theater and the ongoing theatrics in Washington Square Park, and nightclubs and the literary figures came together to form a rich tapestry.
