You’ll “occupy Wall Street” at this famous privately held public space that was home to the protest movement for several months in the fall of 2011.
5 minutesFederal Reserve Bank of New York
Right across from “the room where it happened” (aka Thomas Jefferson’s previous address) is one of 12 Federal Reserve banks. Hear about how founding father Alexander Hamilton devised a scheme to bring banking to the newly formed United States of America and view the awe-inspiring exterior of the richest bank in the world.
