It has been called the Island that Nobody Knows. Once a closed, city-run institution, patrolled by armed guards to keep the islanders in and the public out, it was where NYC’s poorest, sickest and wickedest were sent, particularly women. Come immerse yourself in their tales.

To obtain real-time walking directions from your location to any of the Places on the tour or anywhere else on the island, your device’s Location Services/connectivity must be turned on. If you don’t need directions, no internet connectivity is required to enjoy all of the app’s rich content. Once purchased, the tour is yours. You can use it as often as you like and share the experience with friends and family whenever you choose.

There are no in-app purchases, no advertising and we neither collect nor share your data.
