Colonels Row

Why go

The houses and open lawn show the residential side of the island’s military past on a grander scale than nearby Nolan Park. Walk the row to compare its architecture and spacing, then look toward Fort Jay to see how living quarters sat beside defensive works. Seasonal cultural programs give these old streets another layer of use without erasing their historic layout.

What to look for

• The former military housing row is a separate historic walk and seasonal arts venue south of Nolan Park.

Useful to know

• Check the official site for current access and opening details before setting out.
• Allow extra time for ferry travel when combining this stop with Ellis Island.
• Walk the public historic Colonels Row streets on Governors Island from the ferry landing; use it also as the approach to Fort Jay’s West Sally Port.
