This walking tour is a survey of Staten Island through time - beginning with an encounter of the Native Encampment, depicting 1640s contact period, followed by the Voorlezer’s House, interpreting the early colony of Cocclestown, the Christopher House, circa 1720, which witnessed the divided loyalties of Staten Island in the Revolution, and the Guyon Lake Tysen House, which reveals the story of slavery and emancipation in 1820s New York.
