Karen Q's Patriot Tours NYC

Karen Q's Patriot Tours NYC History like you never learned it in school! See us on the Travel Channels' Mysteries at the Museum! No two tours are exactly the same!

Since 2005, we've been leading our customers through the most historic parts of the city, along streets laid in the 1700’s and into national historic landmarks and are a daily presence in Lower Manhattan! We know the story of every nook and cranny of the Southern tip of the Island and we can’t wait to share it with you. Our Research
To prepare for our tours we comb through hundreds of archival doc

uments. Newspapers, broadsides, pamphlets, personal papers and prints all go into our storytelling of the city’s past. We visit research libraries and historic sites throughout the region to flesh out our understanding of events and people. We virtually live in the time period, recreating it in a way that allows us to answer all of your questions, no matter how obscure. Your Tour Experience
We keep our group sizes small to give you personal attention. Each tour is a unique experience as we tailor it to meet the needs of your group. As the tour moves along we pay attention to your questions and what you seem most interested in so that we change the narrative accordingly. Plus, if you have an ancestor or specific person or event you’d like to know about, let us know before the tour and we’ll be sure to include it for you. Your Guide
Karen Q has spent nearly fifteen years immersed in NYC’s early history. What began as a hobby, reading original documents, became a passion when she learned the stories of people long forgotten who did amazing things to create the city and nation we have today. In 2005 she began the Revolutionary Era walking tour to honor those great NYers. At the request of enthusiastic customers she added the Civil War Tour and the Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr Tour. Karen has spoken at meetings of the NYC Chapter of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) and is a regular speaker for the Queens Public Library. She is also an historical consultant to The Travel Channel’s “Mysteries at the Museum”, Fordham University Radio WFUV and AM New York (newspaper).

This is just a personal complaint. I am concerned about the use of AI imagery in posts about American History, particularly the Revolutionary War Era, my specialty. Many original prints and portraits exist to show what places, people, and events looked like at the time. I used many of them on my walking tours over the years.

When I see AI imagery, I assume the script is also AI-generated. Instead of watching a video created by someone who has spent many years studying the subject, it was likely made by someone who picked a profitable topic (America 250), used AI to generate a reel or video, and cares nothing about the subject.

I have little doubt that everyone like me will eventually be replaced by AI, and soon, no one will know the truth about anything as all original sources are purged from existence.

Wasn't that done before? I think it was Mao's Cultural Revolution.

TONIGHT 9 pm ET - History With Mrs Q - The Battle for New York 250 Years Ago

Tonight, History With Mrs Q returns to a two-hour format!

The first hour will commemorate the Battle for New York, which started 250 years ago this month and continues through November. I'll be talking about the Battle of Long Island (Brooklyn) and the pivotal event that occurred last night.

In the second hour, I'll talk about why Americans were fighting their own government, and how it foreshadowed what's happening today.

Please join me at 9 pm ET at Republicbroadcasting.org/listen-live

TONIGHT 9 pm ET - History with Mrs Q - United We Stand, Divided We Fall

Tonight I'll continue on the subject of the people divided in the 18th Century, and how they came together, or didn't. I'll touch on the tragedy of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Nations, how England divided them, and how it played out in the American Revolution.

Join me tonight at 9 pm ET at republicbroadcasting.org.

TONIGHT 9 pm ET - History With Mrs Q - The Miracle of 1776, Can We Recreate It?

Tonight on History with Mrs Q, we'll be taking a look at the real miracle of the year 1776. It might not have been what you think!

Can we recreate that miracle in the 21st Century to free ourselves from the current corrupt government and return to a country of liberty and prosperity?

Stamp Act, Quartering Act, Tea Act... You might think those are the reasons the American Colonies went to war against England. But they were only symptoms of a much bigger problem.

Mrs Q explains it all from her home in Revolutionary War New York City.
