Head down to Wall Street to see where George Washington took the oath of office to become the first President of the United States of America. The Federal Hall was also the first home of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Executive Branch offices. And as if all that wasn’t enough, the United States Bill of Rights was first presented to Congress at this treasured location. While the original building was demolished in 1812, the Federal Hall National Memorial was built in 1842 on the original site of the Federal Hall. It is currently run by the National Park Service and serves as a national memorial for the entire country right in the heart of New York City. 26 Wall St., 212-509-1595, nps.gov

Fun fact: only one United States president was actually born in New York City, and that was President Theodore Roosevelt. This country’s 26th president was raised in a Manhattan townhouse as a sickly yet intelligent boy who had big dreams and even bigger passion. While his childhood home has been under renovation in 2016, it will reopen to the public on October 11th after $3.7 million in improvements and upgrades. Operated by the National Park Service, this landmark is filled with stories waiting to be heard, including information on the entire Roosevelt family tree and their coat of arms. 28 E. 20th St., 212-260-1616, nps.gov 

NYC Presidential Election Exhibits: “See How They Ran! FDR & His Opponents” at Roosevelt House (Upper East Side) 

The Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College will be presenting vivid examples of the “new media” tools that were used during the four Franklin D. Roosevelt campaigns for presidency from 1932 to 1944. Expect to see a trove of buttons, posters, broadsides, and radio broadcasts that were once as effective with voters as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are today. The show will be running from through November 30th, so there’s still some time to stop by and see what exactly led the way in political campaigning nearly a century ago. Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College, 47-49 E. 65th St., 212-650-3174, roosevelthouse.hunter.cuny.edu
