| Federal Hall |
| After visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, take a walk about four blocks north of Battery Park and Castle Clinton, hang a right at the stock exchange and you're right in front of Federal Hall? 'What's Federal Hall?' I hear you ask, well I'll tell you. Federal Hall was one of our nation's first capitol buildings. While the original one burnt down years ago, it has been rebuilt and used for some government capacity for years. Check out the beautiful hallways and ornate marble pillars. Right now it serves as a museum. Very interesting and I bet hundreds of people walk by it every day and don't even take notice. Check it out! Its highly recommended. Rating: **** |
