The ford was built for the war of 1812 but inside there a fragment of the old battery wall that gave The Battery its name.
Fraunces Tavern Museum
Sometimes called the oldest building in Manhattan this is the sight of important meetings by Sons of Liberty and one of the favorite hangs of general Washington where some of his "stuff" now reside inside.
Wall Street
The border of New Amsterdam ran here so it's a good place to talk of the transfer of power from Dutch to the English and other names of the city.
Federal Hall
The sight of George Washington inauguration in 1789 when NYC was the capital of these new somewhat United States.
Trinity Church
The oldest church still existing as an organization in NYC was deeply involved in the development of Manhattan. On its graveyard are buried several important people, but we will talk mostly about everyone's favorite treasurer Alexander Hamilton.
Saint Paul Chapel
The oldest church building in Manhattan is not usually used for services these days but presents an opportunity to feel the vibes of American founding fathers who prayed here.
