The Gilded Age in New York at The North Shore Historical Museum
March 10 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Lecture and book signing with Esther Crain
The drama, expansion, mansions and wealth of New York City’s transformative Gilded Age era, from 1870 to 1910 in one afternoon!
In forty short years, New York City suddenly became a city of skyscrapers, subways, streetlights, and Central Park, as well as sprawling bridges that connected the once-distant boroughs. In Manhattan, more than a million poor immigrants crammed into tenements, while the half of the millionaires in the entire country lined Fifth Avenue with their opulent mansions.
The Gilded Age in New York captures what is was like to live in Gotham then, to be a daily witness to the city’s rapid evolution.
