Do you love history and exploring NYC?
Join Lindsey on a walking tour of New York City!
While most tours show you the sites you can see, take a tour that transports you back in time through the stories of the earliest moments of New York City’s history to our modern day.
Historian and genealogist Lindsey R. Mullholand is your guide through Lower Manhattan’s hidden histories, starting first with the earliest European settlement on the island of Manhattan: New Amsterdam. Learn about New Amsterdam's brief 40 year history (and for an additional year as New Orange) that left a lasting legacy on our city, country and citizenry.
From New Amsterdam came New York, the first capital of the United States! Learn about the dinners, toasts and public events that memorialized our first President's journey from his home in Virginia to New York City for his first inauguration on Wall Street. Visit the site of the first presidential inauguration, the chapel where George Washington and his cavalcade attended services, and of course, hear the stories about the ceremonies and celebrations!
Ideal for families, groups, students and individuals of all ages.
Lindsey R. Mullholand is an NYC-dwelling public historian + creative.
Savvy at event planning, design, historical research, social media and photography— Ms. Mullholand is a born event planner and community builder, having created and lead over 200 events and public history exhibits in NYC.
Ms. Mullholand regularly finds sparks of inspiration in her historical and genealogical research, now spanning 400 years of New York City and United States history.
Friends, colleagues and history enthusiasts alike are regularly captivated by Ms. Mullholand’s love of lifelong learning, and all that her creativity, research, ardor and collaborations yield.
Her exhibits are lively, dynamic and multi-sensory, bridging both history and art. Her exhibits and events, including “Revolutionary America: Portraits of Past, Present & Possibility”; “Silent Witness to History: 175 Years of Federal Hall National Memorial”,; “Keepers of Our Parks: Manhattan Sites”; “The First and Second Annual George Washington Inaugural Ball” et al. have been viewed by over 50,000+ visitors from 40 countries throughout the world!
When not giving tours in the 12 NYC museums she champions, planning events, snapping photos, or as part of the National Park Service/Amtrak “Trails and Rails” program (that’s giving tours in museums, around NYC, on boats and on trains!); Ms. Mullholand is likely seeking out, exploring and photographing lesser-known historic sites and museums. Since 2011, her “Lindsey Loves History” journey has taken her on several adventures to explore and photograph over 500 historic sites!
Ms. Mullholand has known she’s wanted to be a historian since the 3rd grade, particularly when first visiting Spiegel Grove, the home of President Rutherford B. Hayes in her home state of Ohio. Once her history-loving Grandfather caught wind of her newfound love of history, the two started on a genealogical journey that Ms. Mullholand continues to this day, now over 25 years later.
Ms. Mullholand strongly believes in being of service to others, a trait she’s exuded since her first official volunteer role at the age of 13. Since then, she’s lended her talents in event planning, social media, photography and fundraising to several roles in NYC non-profits.
