Welcome to Alexander's Manhattan
Welcome to the greatest city in the world! My name is Rachel, Professional History Nerd, and I’m excited to share Hamiltion’s New York with you! Our tour begins here in Battery Park, at the Southern tip of Manhattan. With State Street behind, and the Hudson River ahead of you in the distance, let’s begin. Walk the path toward the river. I’ll meet you along the way, near the Sea Glass Carousel.

The Statue of Liberty
What a view! Manhattan is bound by the Hudson, East and Harlem Rivers. We’re looking where the Hudson empties to the Upper New York Bay. The island to your left is Governors Island, and to your right, just across the river, is New Jersey. You can see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from here, too.

New York is a fantastic natural harbor, and as such, has been inhabited since the last ice age. The Lenape and Munsee people used this harbor and the land around this park, to hunt and fish. They established a trading path, used for generations, that leads north up the island. This wide roadway continues today as the modern avenue, Broadway.

The first documented European visitation to this harbor was in 1524, when Florentine explorer Verrazzano sailed through. In 1607 and 1608 Henry Hudson made trips searching here for a rumored northwest passage—to no avail. And then, in 1626, an often-mythicized transaction between the Dutch and the Lenape Nation, where the island then known as Manhattan was sold for 60 guilders, set the stage for the birth of a city, and eventually, the birth of a nation.

Now as we leave this end of Battery Park, did you notice large granite slabs? That's the East Coast War Memorial, dedicated to the US servicemen who lost their lives in the Atlantic Ocean during World War II. This park is home to dozens of memorials and statuary.

Take in the memorial and take in the view. When you’re ready to continue, please follow the path along the water, keeping the river on your left and the park on your right. I’ll meet you again near the ferry loading dock.
