Description

Quarantine is a word that we've all become familiar with in the last year and a half, but New York City has a long and complicated history with quarantining infected individuals stretching back several centuries. Join us at Fort Wadsworth for a free campfire conversation with a ranger exploring the history of New York's quarantine stations and reflecting on our own experiences of the past year and a half.
