This event is a second APTNE walking tour led by experts from the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project. The tour will focus on historic sites in and around Washington Square Park that are connected to LGBT life and action in the 20th century. We will go to the block of MacDougal Street just south of Washington Square. This area used to be the center of artistic culture and social life in the Village. We will also look at places of activism and community, such as the homes of Larry Kramer, Edie Windsor, and Lorraine Hansberry, places where the Salsa Soul Sisters and the Gay Liberation Front met, and the performance spaces of the Spiderwoman Theater, which Muriel Miguel helped to start, and the Judson Poets Theater, which was one of the first Off-Off-Broadway theater companies. The tour will end in the West Village, close to Stonewall.

Saturday, October 26th
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

This tour will introduce Opus 40, the extraordinary earthwork sculpture created by artist Harvey Fite at an abandoned bluestone quarry in Saugerties, NY (built 1939-1976). This in-depth technical tour around the sculpture will include the monument's sinuous paths, spiralling pinnacle, narrow masonry passageways, water elements, and quarry. We will discuss Harvey's working process, classic dry-stone walling principles and techniques, and the ongoing restoration efforts by a team of master dry stone wallers associated with the Stone Trust in Vermont. We will also discuss in detail some of the technical challenges of the restoration and site management, including structural and water management-related pathologies. The tour will also make a detour through the training site for the Stone Trust's certification courses at Opus 40, Harvey's historic tools museum, and the gift shop.
