Wall Street • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the heart of the world's most famous financial district. As you stand here today at the junction of Wall Street and Broad Street, you are standing in a place that has been the theater of global economic power for over two hundred years. But if you look around at the towering skyscrapers, it is hard to imagine that this narrow stretch was once the very edge of civilization for a small Dutch colony. This street was literally named after a physical wall that once marked the northern boundary of New Amsterdam. Today, we will peel back those modern layers of glass and steel to discover the colonial roots, Revolutionary drama, and architectural marvels that make this patch of Lower Manhattan much more than just a place to trade stocks. Whether you are here to see the iconic stock exchange or walk in the footsteps of founding fathers, you are about to see how this short, narrow canyon shaped the destiny of an entire nation.
