As the U.S. approaches its 250th birthday of the Declaration of Independence, we will walk Wall Street to recall its colonial history, recap its role as the banking center of capitalism, and observe its recent rise of a reinvented residential neighborhood. Skyscraper Museum director Carol Willis will lead a 90-minute walking tour that meets in front of Federal Hall, at the juncture of Wall, Broad, and Nassau streets, and weaves its way through the Financial District, highlighting both the current uses of the landmark buildings that line Wall Street and discussing the generations of structures that occupied those sites and the cast of characters that populated this historic district. 

This program is supported by a Community Partnership with the Battery Park City Authority.
