The
Roosevelt Island Historical Walk
was planned, researched, written, and graphically designed by Eagle Scout candidate Neil Tandon under the auspices of Boy Scout Troop 59, Roosevelt Island. The Walk was created for the benefit of the Roosevelt Island Historical Society, the People of Roosevelt Island, and her visitors. Funding for the project has been provided by the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation of the State of New York. A bibliography of the Walk is available here.
