Overview

Discover where New York City began on a walking tour through the historic heart of Lower Manhattan. This 90-minute experience explores the Financial District, where centuries of commerce and government shaped the city.

Begin at City Hall Park, surrounded by some of New York’s earliest institutions. From there, your guide traces Lower Manhattan’s evolution from a Dutch trading post to the financial capital of the world.

We continue through the Financial District, walking along Wall Street and learning how early markets operated before skyscrapers defined the skyline. Along the way, we explore the Stone Street Historic District, one of the oldest surviving streets in New York.

We discuss landmarks such as Federal Hall and Trinity Church, including the final resting place of Alexander Hamilton, and their role in the city’s early history. Near the World Trade Center area, your guide explains how this part of Lower Manhattan was rebuilt after September 11.

St. Paul's Chapel (pass by)

When it first opened in 1766 as an outreach chapel of Trinity Church to better serve its expanding congregation, St. Paul’s was a “chapel-of-ease” for those who did not want to walk a few blocks south along unpaved streets to Trinity. A decade later, the Great Fire of 1776 destroyed the first Trinity Church, but St. Paul’s survived, thanks to a bucket brigade dousing the building with water.Until the second Trinity Church was rebuilt in 1790, many, including George Washington, made St. Paul’s their church home. On April 30, 1789, after Washington took the oath of office to become the first President of the United States, he made his way from Federal Hall on Wall Street to St. Paul’s Chapel, where he attended services.-trinitywallstreet.org
