NYC (P) Birthplace of American Government – Come tour the Federal Hall in New York City

About this event

Wednesday, November 19, 2025, 11:00 AM

In New York, at Federal Hall, George Washington took the oath of office as our first President, and this site was home to the first Congress, Supreme Court, and Executive Branch offices.

The current structure, a Customs House, later served as part of the US Sub-Treasury. Now, the building serves as a museum and memorial to our first President and the beginnings of the United States of America.


The National Park Service is one of the United States' leading agencies for understanding history and culture.

We preserve historic sites both within national park boundaries and beyond. We offer opportunities to help communities preserve their history. Come discover something new about our shared history. 

Protective sidewalk scaffolding has been erected around the building to protect the public from falling materials. Enter the building through the rear on 15 Pine Street.

The tour will be Ranger-led. And if you have a National Park Passport, you can get it stamped while there.

* Optional -Pay-Your-Own Lunch
After the tour, we launch at  Fraunces  Tavern to continue our historic afternoon. Located at 54 Pearl Street. About a 10-minute walk. Please bring cash to pay for your meal.

Please Note: Federal Hall is maintained by the National Park Service. If the Federal Government Shutdown affects operating hours, this tour may need to be rescheduled.
