Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House - Gather in Front on the Left side of the Stairs:
The Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House, initially known as the New York Custom House, is a government building, museum, and former custom house located at 1 Bowling Green, near the southern tip of Manhattan in New York City, New York, USA. Designed by Cass Gilbert in the Beaux-Arts style, it was constructed between 1902 and 1907 by the United States government as the headquarters for the Port of New York’s duty collection operations. - Charging Bull (Wall Street Bull) - Charging Bull, also known as the Bull of Wall Street or the Bowling Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture situated on Broadway just north of Bowling Green in Manhattan’s Financial District, New York City. The 7,100-pound (3,200 kg) bronze sculpture was created by artist Arturo Di Modica, who was born in Vittoria, a small town in the province of Ragusa, Sicily, on January 26, 1941. Standing 11 feet (3.4 m) tall and measuring 16 feet (4.9 m) long, it depicts a bull, symbolizing financial optimism and prosperity. Charging Bull is a popular attraction that draws thousands of visitors daily, representing Wall Street and the Financial District.
- Trinity Church - Trinity Church is a historic parish within the Episcopal Diocese of New York. The church is located at 89 Broadway, opposite Wall Street, in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Known for its rich history, prominent location, and distinguished architecture, Trinity’s congregation is considered “high church,” with activities rooted in the traditions of the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion, focusing on missionary outreach and fellowship. In addition to its main church, Trinity parish maintains two chapels: St. Paul’s Chapel, also in Lower Manhattan, and the Chapel of St. Cornelius the Centurion on Governors Island.
- Brookfield Place - Walk in the footsteps of 9/11 hero responders as they searched for survivors in the depths of the destroyed Westfield World Trade Center mall.
- The Oculus - Explore the Oculus at Ground Zero, the former site of the World Trade Center Mall, one of the routes used by survivors to escape the collapsed buildings via the Subway. Hear stories of bravery and sacrifice in evacuating hundreds of survivors trapped when the North Tower fell. Discover the hidden architectural details that memorialize the site’s history, often overlooked by visitors.
- St. Paul’s Chapel - St. Paul’s Chapel opened in 1766 as an outreach center for Trinity Church’s growing congregation. It served as a “chapel-of-ease” for those who preferred not to walk a few blocks south along unpaved streets to Trinity. A decade later, the Great Fire of 1776 destroyed the first Trinity Church, but St. Paul’s survived, thanks to a bucket brigade from the Hudson River to the chapel’s roof. Until the second Trinity Church was rebuilt in 1790, many, including George Washington, made St. Paul’s their spiritual home. On April 30, 1789, after Washington took the oath of office as the first president of the United States, he proceeded from Federal Hall on Wall Street to St. Paul’s Chapel, where he attended services. St. Paul’s played a crucial role during 9/11, providing shelter for first responders and a place for families to search for their loved ones.
