What To Expect

Cooper Union Foundation Building

Historic building

Washington Square Park

A half block from the site of the fire, this iconic park was a gathering place for anxious family and neighborhood residents, and it was a staging ground for massive funerals and protests to demand justice.

Union Square

We walk around the park, stopping at the sites of union and radical party headquarters, and stopping at the sites of major events and developments that follow from the Triangle fire.

A perfect balance of drama and history as we walked around this historic neighborhood. Our guide was dynamic, entertaining, knowledgeable - and always looking out for everyone - a delightful tour.

Extraordinarily engaging leader, managed to tell the entire story of the Triangle Fire and what led up to it -- and the long term consequences -- by looking at the buildings in the Washington Square/Union Square area. I'll bring all my out of town guests on at least one tour from this group. Fantastic!

Dan Katz is a wonderful story teller and knowledgeable labor historian, and the tour brings history to life. Excellent tour for out of town visitors, labor history buffs, and local folks who can't imagine what happened 100+ years ago in today's Greenwich Village, NYU and Cooper Union!
