Explore the rich history and promising future of Floyd Bennett Field—New York’s first municipal airport—on this tour of historic Hangar Row. Participants may visit a natural gas metering and regulation facility that provides energy to much of Brooklyn. The facility is located inside the iconic Art Deco Hangars 1 and 2, whose exquisite exteriors were painstakingly restored to their original 1930s condition in an award-winning act of historic preservation. Today these hangars are one of just four sites in New York City that together provide more than half of the city’s natural gas.
Visitors are required to don a flame-resistant suit (provided). Photography is not permitted inside the gas facility.
