Guests will be met by Dr. Leslie Day, the author of Field Guide to the Natural World of New York City, for a 45 minute guided walk through Fort Tryon Park and the heather garden en route to the entrance to The Cloisters. Next, the art historian Joan Quinn will lead a tour of the Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art that houses nearly 5,000 medieval works.

On the return trip, we will stop at State Line Lookout for lunch and hear about the unique history of the area.The cost of the the trip, which includes bus transportation and guided tours, is $79 per person ($69 for HSRC Members). Lunch is not included. Guests may bring a picnic lunch or purchase food at State Line Lookout.
