Central Bushwick Walking Tour this Saturday

by Diego Cupolo, flickr stream | October 13th, 2009

A trolley car rolls below the old Myrtle-Wyckoff station.

The tour is postponed until further notice due to weather.

He’s at it again! Local historian Adam Schwartz will lead a walking tour through central Bushwick this Saturday, Oct. 17 at 11 a.m. and he invites everyone to come along for a journey back into the days when trolleys rumbled down our streets.  

The tour will begin at Myrtle-Wyckoff subway station and venture towards Broadway, passing the newest firehouse in the city, Hope Gardens, St. Barbara’s Catholic Church and the Bushwick-Linden Garden along the way. 

Schwartz, a local high school teacher, was the curator of the Up From Flames exhibit in 2007 and has since led numerous history tours in the neighborhood.  

Tickets are $11 and space is limited to 30 people so anyone looking get on board should act fast. RSVP by emailing Schwartz at cartlegger@gmail.com.
