It was such an honor to read the Declaration of Independence on the balcony of @FederalHallNPS as part today's #july4th festivities. I really felt the power of the words! #FourthOfJuly #DeclarationOfIndependence

How timely, last night my grandparents (b. 1933) were just telling me how they participated in Ragamuffin Day growing up in Queens and the rest of the family had never heard of it before

[The Bowery Boys Podcast @BoweryBoys]

In 1956 the #MacysDayParade was a catastrophe as bad winds took out several balloons, incl. Mighty Mouse and the 'Gorgeous Gobbler'. Meanwhile, across town, according to @NYDailyNews, a version of the Ragamuffin Parade was still in the city streets: #MacysThanksgivingDayParade

#HappyHalloween! Everyone knows "The Legend of #SleepyHollow" by Washington Irving, but #DidYouKnow that several Hamilton children and grandchildren were neighbors and friends of Washington Irving and are buried in @SHCemetery?

Heading to the Colonial Dames Fall Benefit to support the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum, one of the few remaining 18c buildings on Manhattan & the only remaining day hotel, which were popular in the 1820-1830s. If you haven't been before, it's worth a visit: https://t.co/C8neUifOiU

One year ago the @USCGAcademy unveiled an Alexander Hamilton statue by sculptor #benjaminvictor gifted by Class of '63. @TheAHASociety served as historical consultants.
