"New Rochelle is not only one of the oldest communities in Westchester, it was the only community in Colonial America that maintained the French customs and language well into the 18th century. The city’s ever-growing downtown has amazing reminders of each era, beginning with French Huguenots in the early 1700s, through its years as a resort destination, the Gilded Age, the banner decade of the 1920s, and up to present day. Master works of architects John Russell Pope (Jefferson Memorial), Henry Bacon (Lincoln Memorial), and Richard Upjohn (Trinity Church) are part of this 90-minute walking tour, as well as numerous and superb examples of Art Deco design. Participants will see the birthplace of Mighty Mouse, the former stomping grounds of artist Norman Rockwell and Yankee great Lou Gehrig, the first suburban Bloomingdales, and much more! PLEASE NOTE:
