We'll discuss the remnants of the Dutch Colony of New Amsterdam and take in the oldest building in Manhattan, take a turn down the shortest street in NYC, and seek out the places that played a prominent role in the American Revolution.



Stopping by Trinity Church we’ll take a moment at the resting place of one of the country’s most controversial founding fathers - Alexander Hamilton. We’ll also make a pit stop at places connected with more modern history, like the New York Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve as well as two of Wall Street’s iconic statues, Charging Bull and Fearless Girl.
