Honoring Heritage: The African Burial Ground National Monument

Getting There

• Subway

  Take the 2 or 4 subway line from any station in Manhattan that services these lines. If you are near Times Square, board the 2 train at Times Square-42nd Street station toward Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College or the 4 train toward Brooklyn. Get off at the City Hall station. Once you exit the subway, walk north on Broadway for about 5 minutes. The African Burial Ground National Monument is located at 290 Broadway, on your right.

• Bus

  You can take several bus lines to reach the area. If you are near Bryant Park, board the M5 bus at 6th Avenue and 42nd Street heading downtown. Get off at the stop at Chambers Street. From there, walk a short distance north on Broadway to reach 290 Broadway, the location of the African Burial Ground National Monument.

• Walking

  If you are already in the Financial District or near the World Trade Center, you can simply walk to the African Burial Ground National Monument. Head northwest on Church Street until you reach Chambers Street. Turn left on Chambers Street and then turn right on Broadway. The monument will be at 290 Broadway, just a few blocks away.

• Tram

  If you are near Roosevelt Island, you can take the tram to Manhattan and then walk to the nearest subway station (the F train at 63rd Street). Take the F train to 34th Street-Herald Square and transfer to the B, D, F, or M train to reach the nearest stop to the monument. Get off at the City Hall station and walk north on Broadway to 290 Broadway.
