SENECA PARK! ✊🏽

[@lmorehead90]

Straight up , they just gone pretend like that wasn't there before all this other ish .

[@mrzombiezlay]

Seneca Village was a settlement of mostly African American landowners in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, within present-day Central Park. The settlement was located on about 5 acres (2.0 ha) approximately bounded by where 82nd and 89th Streets and Seventh and Eighth Avenues would have been constructed. Seneca Village was founded in 1825 by free blacks, the first such community in the city. At its peak, the community had three churches, a school, and two cemeteries,[1] as well as 264 residents.[2] Later the settlement came to be inhabited by several other minorities, including Irish and German immigrants.[3] Seneca Village existed until 1857 when, through eminent domain, the villagers and other settlers in the area were ordered to leave and their houses torn down for the construction of Central Park.[4] The entirety of the village was dispersed except for one congregation that relocated,[5] and to date no descendants of Seneca Village have been identified.[6] Several vestiges of Seneca Village's existence have been found over the years, including two graves and a burial plot.[7] The settlement was largely forgotten until the publication of Roy Rosenzweig and Elizabeth Blackmar's book The Park and the People: A History of Central Park in 1992.[8] The Seneca Village Project was formed in 1998 to raise awareness of the village, and several archeological digs have been performed.[1] In 2001, a historical plaque was unveiled, commemorating the site where Seneca Village once stood.[9] The settlement was largely forgotten for more than a century after its demolition. Public attention to Seneca Village was invigorated after the publication of Roy Rosenzweig and Elizabeth Blackmar's 1992 book The Park and the People: A History of Central Park.[8] MemorialsEdit The Seneca Village Project was formed in 1998 as a collaboration between Cynthia Copeland of the New-York Historical Society; Nan Rothschild of Barnard College; and Diana Wall of City College of New York.[26][60] It is dedicated to raising awareness about Seneca Village's significance as a free, middle-class black community in 19th century New York City. The project facilitates educational programs, which engage school children, teachers and the general public, and bring Seneca Village into public knowledge.[26] In February 2001, former Parks Commissioner Henry Stern, State Senator David Paterson, Borough President C. Virginia Fields, and New York Historical Society Executive Director Betsy Gotbaum unveiled the Historical Sign commemorating the site where Seneca Village once stood.[5][15][61] The plaque is located near the modern-day Mariners Playground, near 85th Street and Central Park West.[8][9][62] In 2019, the city announced a request for proposals for a statue honoring the Lyons family, property owners in the village. The statue would be placed at 106th Street in the North Woods section of the park, and has received funding from several private donors including the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Ford Foundation, JPB Foundation, and Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund.[63] Archaeological excavationsEdit Following a 1997 exhibition on the community at the New-York Historical Society, Wall, Rothschild, Copeland, and Herbert Seignoret decided to see if any archaeological traces of the village remained. They worked with local historians, churches and community groups to shape the direction of their research project on the site.[8] In June 2000, Wall, Rothschild, Copeland, and other researchers started performing imaging tests to determine if any traces of Seneca Village remained.[64] With student participation, the project conducted exhaustive archival research and preliminary remote sensing. Researchers used soil borings to identify promising areas with undisturbed soil. In 2005 the team performed ground-penetrating radar tests, successfully locating traces of Seneca Village. After extended discussions with the New York City Department of Parks and the Central Park Conservancy, officials granted permission for test excavations in the regions of the village most likely to contain intact archaeological deposits.[5] Digs took place in 2004,[18] August 2005,[18][65] and mid-2011.[8][18][66][67] The 2011 excavation uncovered the foundation walls and cellar deposits of the home of William Godfrey Wilson, a sexton for All Angels' Church,[68] and another important deposit from the backyard of two other Seneca Village residents. Archaeologists found over 250 bags of artifacts, including the bone handle of a toothbrush and the leather sole of a child's shoe.[18][67] The public location of the site in Central Park meant that guards monitored the site to ensure that it was undisturbed. Also, the archaeologists were asked to fill the holes they had dug and remove their equipment after each day of work.[67]

Interesting you never mentioned SENECA VILLAGE the original community that existed there before the creation of the park.

[@CityBoyMatt]

If you were to have taken my tour in Central Park, I would have mentioned it but this video was created in response to deaths caused by collisions within Central Park. The video is about the arches. Seneca Village, though an important piece of piece of New York City history, is unrelated to improving transportation infrastructure in the park.

[@AbbySteinAS]

In 2018, the problem was solved: NYC has formally, permanently, closed off the park to cars

Agree 100 percent on saving lives and returning gorgeous Central Park to it's original plans with those lovely bridges! Too bad Robert Moses felt he could change what Olmsted had originally designed! Moses almost wrecked Fire Island back in the 1960s by wanting to put in a highway thus destroying the natural beauty of Fire Island. Proof that too much greed and money can ruin what was originally intended! Used to live on the Upper East Side and miss NYC and beautiful Central Park...used to hang out there every weekend around Bethesda Fountain and the reservoir...also loved Shakespeare in the Park with the Belvedere Castle in the background...the perfect backdrop for historical dramas!

[@JOEHUSTLE125]

This is stupid they kick a bunch of people out of this area to make a park. To a modern-day visitor, the site of Seneca Village resembles much of its surrounding landscape: rolling hills, rock outcrops, and playgrounds. But what many do not realize is that this area near the Park’s West 85th Street entrance has an important history - more than 200 years ago, it was once home to Seneca Village, the largest community of African-American property owners in 19th-century New York City. The village existed between 1825 and 1857; by 1855, there were approximately 225 residents, which consisted of roughly two-thirds African Americans, one-third Irish immigrants, and a small number of Germans. As the first significant community of African-American property owners, Seneca Village provided residential stability. With property ownership came other rights not commonly held by African-Americans in the City - namely, the right to vote. When the City built Central Park, the Seneca Village residents were displaced and all traces of the settlement was lost to history. Since the 1990s, scholars and archeologists have been working to bring the history of this significant community to light. In June of 2011, a group called the Institute for the Exploration of Seneca Village History conducted an excavation at the Seneca Village site that uncovered stone foundation walls and thousands of artifacts from residents that offer valuable clues to unraveling the story of this community.

I just watched ''What's Hidden Beneath Central Park." As always, KZbin titles make everything sound much, much more exciting than it turns out to be. There's nothing hidden under Cental Park. The only things this video was about was dismantling 19 century beautiful pedestrian bridges and how cross walks on the ground where people have to dodge traffic have, as a result, become much more dangerous. The clip is also about changing land in the park from one use to another where sheep. Sheep used to graze in Sheep Medow. Now people go there to sunbathe and hear concerts. Nothing is buried under Central Park. Nothing is even interesting about this clip no matter what KZbin wants to name it to make us want to see it, hoping something really is buried under the park .

Since they banned cars from everything except a few blocks of the southeast corner on one of the roads, it's much safer for pedestrians. The only vehicles you'll see are official ones for employees doing maintenance. And as far as bicycles, it's not anywhere near as bad as people are saying. When you cross the street, use your eyes and look first. Pretty simple. The worst bikers are actually the tourists who rent the big clunky bikes and don't know how to ride them. But it would be cool to see some of those older bridges and tunnels resurrected.

Title misleading, Seneca Village was Not mentioned!

[@CityBoyMatt]

It's not misleading. Marble Arch is mentioned and it is below the park. Let me be totally clear, #blacklivesmatter. Seneca Village is super important. But, this video isn't about Seneca Village. The park goes from 59th Street to 110th Street. Seneca Village went from about 80th Street to 86th Street and was in the area where the western part of the park is. That doesn't minimize its importance. It was an enclave in a time that enclaves were crucial. Massive racism existed at the time. Far too much racism exists today. But, I'm not trying to ignore Seneca Village, it's simply not what I'm talking about in this video. There are lots of other things buried under the park. There are lots of other historical remnants in the park. There were lots of other things destroyed by the park. Again, none of that changes the importance of Seneca Village.

Back in the 70s cars only went on the short bypass from west to east and vise versa. Where cycling and pedestrians were allowed there were only police vehicles. I guess they allowed cars to access the pedestrian walkways, they were wide enough for vehicles but the main reason the tunnels underneath the roadways were taken out was because women used to get raped and killed under those bridges.

Robert Moses did some great Civil Design in NYC, but he was not an MTA fan. He had a chance to connect Brooklyn to Staten Island via the Verrazano Bridge by Subway ( like the Manhattan & Williamsburg Bridges ) but didn't. He also wanted to cut right through TriBeCa, SoHo, and Chinatown by building a freeway basically cutting right through Lower Manhattan. It would have been the Bronx Grand Councorce spanning all of Canal Street. Luckily that did not happen. That would have been great to take the Subway to Staten Island... It would also be great if the MTA would extend subway lines with dedicated stops at LaGuardia and JFK. I have taken the plane train once, but it was a hassle to connect back to the subway.

Growing up where I lived Casanovia park use to be a every 2-3 day trip for me and my parents, we practically vacationed at the park just to get away from the hastles of life, soon after I got old enough to go places on my own 5 of my favorite places were a string of stores and places between home and the park Block buster "now closed for years" Dollar tree and Burger King and removed from the chain but way back in the parking lot was Aims "also closed for years which sucks because it was the discount Walmart of the area" number 5 on the list and just a little bit further down across the street was Cazenovia park it worries me that it was a public park and it could possibly be on the list, but on the other hand Cazenovia school was right on the edge of the park and they were landmarks because so many people played there and so many events like caz carnival happened there parades both started and ended there odds are because caz was so much so the life of the city of buffalo it was spared from the list, and hopefully instead of including it on the funding cut off list they made a new list of stuff they wanna fix and clean up and they've included Cazinovias fountain pool for the kids, I remember I use to love going there for the fountain pool then they decided to let it go and teenagers started using it for a skate park, a big crack appeared in the pool and it got so bad that crack stood up on itself. If I had the money and the knowledge that buffalo was cleaning up for the good of the people and that park was on a restoration project list I'd move back out there in a heartbeat just to go to that park everyday. I use to play on the swings and in the sand box on the teeter totter and the jungle gyms, me and my brother use to hang out by the creek. It's sad to know things may have gotten so bad and go so far down hill that buffalo is collapsing under the weight of what should be, it breaks my heart.

Mansion there was four to 5 levels high and had numerous acres thru out city as private city only allowed so many people for that of such of people to be able to make sure all things were fair balance as possible. But after long time here people here got mad and angry about newspaper reports of losing wars and having to go back to original self to see grave again as there other died and notice was to late in receiving notice and often ment death for one waiting in North canada. As assignation happened of person in Soviet as some say as it happened in Africa. Of person whom kept country's from war when they wanted war. As technology was scheduled and destroyed as this was answer to why people got passed off at one another. As technology was being dismantled from use people were to spoiled and war started and people started hating everyone and everything. As people started destroying anyone or anything that would try to stop them known religious occult members. Mansion was removed by Europe and moved else were before they could engrave things in stone.

They took a perfectly good classy themed hotel and ruined it, especially with that hideous giant tree root coming out of the lobby ceiling which used to be where they hung a big beautiful chandelier. And the new green and brown color scheme looks absolutely hideous as well

Largest mansion in world was there as other entrances were removed for subway. Now more likely nothing.
