Explore beyond the famous Stonewall narrative and delve into the lesser-known beginnings of LGBTQ+ life in New York City with this captivating walking tour of Greenwich Village. Before the contemporary rights movement, the Village was a sanctuary for outsiders, artists, and rebels who quietly established one of the nation’s most dynamic queer communities.

Stroll the same streets where Walt Whitman penned groundbreaking poetry celebrating love and identity, listen to the tales of early drag performers and gender-nonconforming New Yorkers, and learn about the clandestine bars and meeting spots where queer culture thrived despite adversity.
