Lower Manhattan: A History Map is much more than an attractive wall poster. It also contains a well-researched walking-tour guide to the neighborhood's historic sites. The itinerary includes 50 important spots; each is briefly described, and clearly located on a secondary map specifically designed for those visiting the area. The walking-tour guide is printed on the back of folded Lower Manhattan maps. Unfolded posters and framed maps come with a separate four-page booklet containing the walking-tour information.
