Visitors will experience the glory of New York City from its
founding by the Dutch in 1626, to its role in the American
Revolution, to George Washington's poignant address bidding his
troops farewell at the end of the war and the first public reading
of the Declaration of Independence at the southwest corner of City
Hall Park.
View the remarkable architecture of such treasures
as the Empire State Building, the Woolworth Building and the
Flatiron Building. See Times Square - where New Yorkers lined up to
experience America's newest playground. Visit the Five Points, where
the forsaken tenements of the 19th century gave birth to the
politics of reform and investigative journalism. Relive the
salacious scandal of Evelyn Nesbitt, for whom Harry K. Thaw murdered
her lover Stanford White and the wild stories of the 20's and NYC's
speakeasies.
