Envisioning Seneca Village


Envisioning Seneca Village is a project depicting what this significant nineteenth-century village might have looked like in the summer of 1855, about two years before it was destroyed by the City of New York to build Central Park. It features an interactive 3D model and supplementary materials. Bard Graduate Center professor Meredith Linn is a member of the project's team.
