NYC Off the Grid: Exploring the History of Governors Island | Eileen Explores
Did you know that Governors Island was once called "Nut Island" and more than half of it is manmade landfill taken from the debris of building the New York City subway? One of the Wright brothers flew a plane from the Island in 1909. About 100 years ago, it also almost became an airport. Then Congressman Fiorello LaGuardia pushed hard for that. Join host Eileen Lehpamer as she walks through the unique history of the Island in this episode of Eileen Explores: NYC Off The Grid - Governors Island Revealed.
