It also marks the inauguration of George Washington as the first President. Not far from here, you'll discover the historic Trinity Church and the final resting place of Alexander Hamilton.

A feat of engineering and a symbol of American resilience, the World Trade Center served as a testimony to our nation's aspirations. The newly constructed One World Trade (commonly known as the Freedom Tower) now soars as a memorial to the past and a symbol of hope for the future.
