Presented by Cornelia Dohse-Peck
Meeting Point: North end of Broderick Park near the fish consumption signage, @ the Riverwalk connection. Date and time TBD.
Approximately 1.5 hours (leisurely walk with about 6 stops)
Come and experience the Peace Walk Discovery Trail, a new public mosaic art project on Unity Island along Buffalo’s Shoreline Trail. Only a few minutes west of and parallel to Niagara Street runs the newly improved shoreline trail north, along the Niagara River. This mosaic art project won the City of Buffalo’s competition in 2016 and was realized in 2017. Learn about some of the local history of that stretch between Broderick Park and Unity Island Park, how it was a last stop of the UGRR, how Native Americans interacted with the island. Hear about artist Cornelia Dohse-Peck’s vision for Peace Walk Discovery Trail, the symbols used and how this public art project came to be.
