Federal Hall

Federal Hall, located on Wall Street, is the site of George Washington's first inauguration.  Below is a photo from an earlier post, showing a statue of Washington commemorating that event.  The statue is located on the steps of the current Federal Hall, which replaced the building where Washington was actually inaugurated.

We recently ventured inside Federal Hall. Below are some photos from our visit.
