With the days warming, the world reopening incrementally, and a semi-normal summer potentially ahead I have been thinking a lot recently of hopefully returning to Federal Hall sometime in the near future. This has never been truer than today: the anniversary of George Washington’s first inaugural. We will see what happens. I have so missed that interaction with the public.
Above was the scene on Wall Street in 1789 and below an incredible image of President Benjamin Harrison’s entourage 100 years later.

Keith, Thanks for the reminder. I took a walking tour of the East River docks from Fraunce’s Tavern last Saturday and walked by Federal Hall locked up tight as a drum. Like you, I hope it opens soon. B.
Good to hear from you, Bob. Maybe we can get together in a few weeks. Perhaps after Memorial Day.
