Description

The 1825 opening of the Erie Canal sparked a massive economic boom, prompting Manhattan's elite to flee the noise, congestion, and commercialization of the seaport area. They moved "uptown" to modern-day NoHo, establishing an exclusive residential enclave. This guided walk explores the Tredwells' neighborhood to show what daily life was like for this wealthy merchant class during the mid-19th century.
