Port Morris – Through the Hell GateWhat was once the hub of industry and trade in The Bronx, Port Morris was the brainchild of Gouverneur Morris Jr. in the 1840s. From the sleepy seaport, it rose up to be the capital of piano manufacturing in the United States. BCHS Educator Vivian Davis will be leading this dynamic tour through Port Morris, visiting the sites that made the area famous. The tour will start outside the gate of St. Ann’s Episcopal Church at 295 St. Ann’s Avenue. Take the #6 train to the Brook Avenue Station. Take buses Bx #17 or #33.
