New York Highlights: Fort Washington to Fort Tryon Park - Outdoor Exploration Game

Dare you wander to the north of Manhattan and visit Washington Heights, where Fort Washington lies, the last defence against the British during the American Revolutionary War?

During your quest, you will see The Cloisters, one of the most unique museums in the city for its medieval look and feel. You will learn how St. Frances Cabrini impacted the lives of children everywhere, including the Five Points, the worst slum in the city’s history. You will discover the story of an exclusive dinner where guests were served on horseback.

Attention and keep your eyes peeled, esquire! The mission is about to begin…
