1 Bowling Green, New York, NY 10004 , United States
What to expect
Bowling Green
The first spot to be colonized in Manhattan Bowling Green is where I make my introduction about what the island looked like before and why Manhattan is called that. We also talk about the beginning of the Revolutionary War and the toppling of King George III statue.
15 minutes
Netherland Monument
This if gift from The Netherlands tells the story both of New Amsterdam and alleged purchase of Manhattan.
5 minutes
Castle Clinton National Monument
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.
5 minutes
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.
5 minutes
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.
10 minutes
Federal Hall
The sight of George Washington inauguration in 1789 when NYC was the capital of these new somewhat United States.
5 minutes
Trinity Church Wall Street
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.
5 minutes
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.
5 minutes
