(SOLD OUT) Feminism and Fortune Telling: Women of the Lower East Side Trolley Tour

Long before psychic infomercials and hotlines became all the rage, individuals seeking love advice or answers to life’s questions went to visit working-class fortune tellers in New York’s Lower East Side. In 1857, humor writer Mortimer Thomson (1831–1875)—using the pseudonym Q. K. Philander Doesticks—published a series of exposés in which he labeled these women “witches,” leading to arrests and public intrigue.

(SOLD OUT) Magicians and Mediums Walking Tour
2025-11-01 15:00 - 17:00
In the 1850s, New York City was captivated by the sensational story of the Fox sisters—three young women who claimed they could communicate with the dead through mysterious knocking sounds. (The eldest sister, Leah, along with their parents, is buried at Green-Wood.) Though the sisters later admitted it was all a hoax, their story ignited a nationwide obsession with Spiritualism that would endure for decades.

On this lively walking tour, uncover the curious legacies of Spiritualism and stage magic, two rival worlds that often collided in the nineteenth century. Along the way, you’ll visit the graves of strange and spellbinding figures who dabbled in séances, illusions, and the supernatural.
