The Hamilton&Washington Tour with Bruce Racond was a total hit with all five of us. Lower Manhattan came alive with U.S. Customs House, Fraunces Tavern, Trinity Church and The New York Stock Exchange which are settings for early years in our nation’s history. After seeing Hamilton on Broadway the night before, my granddaughter(11 years old) was enthralled! Bruce entertained and enlightened the old and the young people with tales of Washington and Hamilton. Amazingly organized and knowledgeable, Bruce’s energy and insights made the three hours fly by.
