On April 30, 1789, George Washington took his oath on Federal Hall’s balcony. During the first congress held at the Federal Hall were adopted the Bill of Rights, the Judiciary Act of 1789 and the Northwest Ordinance.

Built as a City Hall in 1700, the Federal Hall was the second capitol of the United States, after the Maryland Statehouse. In the 19th century, the building was demolished and replaced by the first Customs House, a splendid example of classical architecture. At 26 Wall Street, the Federal Hall National Memorial is now a museum operated by the National Park Service.

On the first steps of the Federal Hall you’ll find the statue of George Washington, placed there in honor of the great president. The Federal Hall was declared a historic site in 1939 and a national memorial 16 years later. Except for national holidays, the Federal Hall’s exhibits are open to visitors every day of the year. We offer you George Washington’s Inauguration Gallery, Freedom of the Press and Journey to Federal Hall. Visit them and find out more about United States’ history. Throughout the day, we organize guided tours of the Federal Hall.
