In this charming and informative animated film, George Washington reflects on the birth of the nation and the role of New York's Federal Hall as he is driven to his inauguration. The historic building, originally the seat of New York's royal government, played a prominent part in American's revolutionary history. There, in 1765, colonial delegates protested the hated Stamp Act and its imposition of taxation without representation. The first Congress met at Federal Hall in 1787, and on its steps Washington was inaugurated as the first president of the United States. Journey to Federal Hall presents a clear and entertaining introduction to one of our nation's most important historic sites.
