A message from the History Group:
We’re reaching out to our Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group community to ask for your help in continuing our mission.
We are a small group of neighbors who banded together 20 years ago to dig deeper into the local history of our region of the Upper West Side. During these years, we’ve made a commitment to discover, explore, preserve, and share that history. Prior to Covid our expenses were met by voluntary donations at our live presentations. Our move to Zoom presentations has dried up that source of revenue. To help us please click the "Donate now" button. For more Information please visit our donate in button.
