Alan Despres
Tour Through New York National Historic Sites with Darien Library
|
Darien Library is hosting a virtual tour of natural and man-made wonders in New York in the first of an eight-week online series. Each event will be accessed on Zoom. Week 1, Oct 5 — From the Seven Wonders to National Parks
Retired United States park ranger Allen J. Despres will explore the seven wonders of the world to America’s National Parks system. Even in ancient times, there were those who loved to travel to see great natural places as well as man-made ones. The growth of the middle class in the 19th century and the advances in transportation technology made our present age of easy travel possible.
