Eyewitness News ABC7NY New York City’s oldest fence in Bowling Green remains a tangible piece of American Revolution

A piece of American history still stands today within the iron fence at Bowling Green Park in Manhattan.

Its original purpose centuries ago was to protect a statue of Great Britain’s King George III, but 250 years ago, that would change.

The American Revolution happened and crowds came to tear it down. As we prepare to celebrate 250 years of America, Eyewitness News is sharing the history the fence endured and echoes of rebellion long after New York City rose around it.
