More than just beautiful landscapes of conifers and azaleas, the New York Botanical Garden is a 250-acre oasis with a fascinating history and architectural legacy. Using vintage and current photographs, we’ll explore the founding of this beloved New York landmark and its stunning Beaux-Arts architecture, including the iconic Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. We’ll also discover remnants of the original 1840s French Huguenot Lorillard Estate that still sits beside the picturesque Bronx River.

Join us for a fascinating virtual visit to one of New York City’s most beautiful and storied landmarks.
