Conference House and Living Breakwaters -- CANCELED

About this event


Our first stop will be The Conference House, a historic site and national landmark. https://www.conferencehouse.org/ Conference House was the site of a 1776 peace conference which attempted to end the Revolutionary War. Edward Rutledge, John Adams, Lord Howe and Benjamin Franklin were among those in attendance. 

We will take the 12 pm tour. The cost is $7.18 per person.


Our next stop is next door! We meet in the parking lot of Conference House. From there we will be going to the beach to see and learn about Living Breakwaters. This is a unique structure being built off the shores of Staten Island. The decision to place it there was made because of Super Storm Sandy which damaged much of Staten Island. We will be meeting up with Tami Banh from the architectural firm of Scape Landscape Architecture DPC.
