“Today the senior class of 2013 explored the halls and rotunda of the Federal Hall National Memorial in downtown Manhattan. There they learned not only about New York City and State, but read about formative moments in our nation’s history: the transition from New Amsterdam to New York, immigrants’ influence and experiences, George Washington’s inaugural address — given from that very location — Alexander Hamilton’s influence on the nature of the federal government, Susan B. Anthony’s arrest for being female and daring to vote, and more.”
“On Oct 24th, 2012, the Seniors of Evangelical Christian High School had the opportunity to visit
the Federal Hall Museum in Downtown Manhattan on Wall Street. Here the students were able to experience and
learn the fundamental roots of American democracy. This building is not only significant because it’s adjacent to the
New York Stock Exchange, but it is also where our first president, George Washington, was sworn into the presidential office.
Each student worked in groups and were given a list of questions and terms they had to search throughout the museum to find.
Every question more challenging than next to expand their knowledge about America’s origins as well as have an appreciation
for American Democracy.”
