You're Invited: National Announcement for Federal Hall

First Capital. First Congress. First President. It all happened at the site of Federal Hall.

Located on Wall Street in the heart of New York City's Financial District, Federal Hall National Memorial is a symbol of the successful establishment of democracy and capitalism in America. An icon of Lower Manhattan, the structure that adorns the site today is a Greek Revival masterpiece conceived by Ithiel Town and A.J. Davis that was completed in 1842.

Please join the National Park Service, the National Parks of New York Harbor Conservancy, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and American Express on Wednesday, December 2, 2015, as we announce a new partnership to celebrate this important place that matters. Confirmed speakers for the announcement include:

Stephanie K. Meeks, President, National Trust for Historic Preservation

Timothy J. McClimon, President, American Express Foundation

Marie Salerno, President, National Parks of New York Harbor Conservancy
