#31 Battery Park and Castle Clinton

The Bowery Boys: New York City History

Nov 23 2008 • 30 mins

Castle Clinton, built to defend New York City from a war that never arrived, has worn a lot of hats in its almost 200 year history; it's been a performance hall, an immigration center and an aquarium! And you can find it in Battery Park, today host to a variety of monuments and made from the materials of ole Fort Amsterdam.
