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
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
DYK? James Alexander Hamilton served as Acting Secretary of State under President Andrew Jackson.

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

How fun! Enjoyed the historic holiday train ride in December, recommend as a fun experience if you can go to the Parade of Trains this weekend.
#MeetTheTrains: Ordered between 1930 and 1940, the R1/9 cars featured rattan seats, paddle ceiling fans, incandescent light bulbs, and roll signs for passenger information.
Take a ride on these cars this Saturday and Sunday at Parade of Trains!
