Since 1858 New York City’s Central Park has served as a peaceful oasis for New Yorkers and visitors from around the world to enjoy the park’s beautiful landscape, bridges, fountains, wildlife, sculptures and more. However, have you ever wondered who and what previously occupied the 843 acres that is now this beautiful park?

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with Sara Cedar Miller, Historian Emerita of the Central Park Conservancy and author of the book, “Before Central Park”. Sara will take us back in history to tell us stories of the days prior to the formation of Central Park when the land was the site of farms, businesses, wars and a home to many different communities of people.

Sara will also give us insight into the wonderful work of the Central Park Conservancy. For over forty years, the Conservancy’s mission has been to preserve and celebrate Central Park as a sanctuary from the pace and pressures of city life and to enhance the enjoyment and well-being of all.
