Hangman's Elm image

Hangman's Elm
Historical landmark
👍👍 Like history itself, the story of English elms in New York hasn’t been straight-forward. As the international cousin of the American elm, they have been referred to as the foreign elm, with debates about whether they’re native or nonnative to New York. This specific English elm, however, speaks for...

Magnolia Tree Earth Center
Historical landmark
😠 As an individual who has been following the Magnolia Tree Earth Center's renovation process closely, I must say that I am extremely irritated at the lack of communication from the center and the general public. The complete lack of updates and information has left me feeling frustrated and confused...

Fraunces Tavern Museum
Museum
👍👍 A historical building that one might just walk on by, if not for the large historical plaques attached to the side, which harkens in its history.
