The Federal Hall National Memorial reopened on October 6th after an 18 month restoration project. From the nps.gov website:

“Here on the corner of Broad and Wall Street, General George Washington took the oath of office as the first President of the United States. Home to the first congress, supreme court, and executive offices, the original Federal Hall was trully the birthplace of the current government of the United States. The current structure, a Greek revivial style Customs House, later served as part of the US Sub-Treasury. Currenlty, the building still serves the Federal Government as a museum and memorial to the first president and the beginnings of the United States of America.”

When you’re downtown to see the World Trade Center, Bowling Green Park, the Wall Street Charging Bull, and the New York Stock Exchange you should also make a stop at the newly reopened Federal Hall building. The Federal Hall building is across from the New York Stock exchange… you can’t miss it with the George Washington statue and stock brokers sitting on the steps. Best of all it’s free!

Hours: Monday through Friday 10:00 - 4:00 daily.
Not opened Saturday and Sunday.
