NYC - Sun Aug 21 - National Park Meet-up - African Burial Ground

[crissibeth]

I was surprised to see that no one in NY was hosting a meet up for National Park Service Centennial Local Guides Connect!  So, I decided to set one up.

Where:  Meet at African Burial Grounds, National Park in NYC

Map: https://goo.gl/maps/9cjDhMqSCus 

Web site:  https://www.nps.gov/AFBG/index.htm  

Date:  August 21, 2016

Time:  12 noon

Plan:  We will start at the African Burial Ground Monument.  Admission is FREE.  After we gather and learn a bit, we will take a photowalk down Broadway.  We will pass through / by City Hall Park, pass Trinity Church, pass the Charging Bull, and end in Battery Park, the site of another famous national park in NYC - Castle Clinton.  The entire walk is about 1 mile long.

I wasn't sure where to put them!  We used the hashtag #thatGoogleMeet.

@crissibeth Looks like it was a fun time. We use #LocalGuides for all Local Guides-related activities (events, meet-ups, discoveries, etc.) and for the Centennial events, we added #NPS100. These hashtags apply to all social networks, too. Local Guides love liking each other's posts!
