{Federal Hall National Memorial New York City}

Next visit was almost across from the New York Stock Exchange, to Federal Hall National Memorial in New York City.
Statue of George Washington on the Wall Street steps of the Federal Hall National Memorial, designed by John Quincy Adams Ward (1830-1910).
This historic site on Wall Street is where the first United States Congress met and where George Washington was inaugurated President in 1789.
Read more here: Federal Hall National Memorial.
Above you see a plaque commemorating the Northwest Ordinance of the Ohio Company of Associates from 1787.
Below you see the Inauguration with the George Washington Inaugural Bible, which can be seen inside the building.

It is the Birthplace of American Government

 Hope you enjoyed this part of our History!
Thanks for visiting.

    I might meet up with a couple of friends there this summer. A friend here has been in New York City for a few days now and keeps sending me wonderful pictures. She's there to visit her mom who is in a small town outside the City and then her mom will come back to Kuwait with her for a month.

    Hello dear Mariette,
    Many thanks for kind words, indeed I am wrapping up seriously these days, and for the next month I will away from blogs...
    I cant' agree more about H. Clinton, so many scams tied to that dreadful woman...
    G; Washington's statue is very impressive, lovely photographs!
    Keep well much love :)
