RI History Quest – Now Sunday, April 26th from 1-3pm
Dear Roosevelt Island Community:
In celebration of National Historic Marker Weekend 2026, the Roosevelt Island Youth Center, in partnership with the Roosevelt Island Historical Society (RIHS), invites the community to take part in the Roosevelt Island History Quest on Sunday, April 26, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
This interactive, family-friendly event encourages participants to explore six of Roosevelt Island’s most notable historic sites while learning about the Island’s rich history. Attendees can pick up a “Roosevelt Island Passport” at any participating location and visit each of the six historical markers to complete fun, educational activities and collect stamps.
Due to the rain this weekend, the Roosevelt Island History Quest has been moved to Sunday, April 26th. https://t.co/W5GImIOKEr
