The Hall of Fame for Great Americans

Cool place to walk on campus

I grew up on W 181st St in the 50s. I am glad to see that this monument to great Americans is still there and not yet removed by the Winston Smiths in the current government.

This entire campus is fantastic. One look and you know it was not built as a community college. (See Bronx Community College). The walk is a stroll through American history and thought. Great scholars, generals, doctors, nurses look out at you and descriptive plaques tell you what they did. A must see in the Bronx.

A forgotten part of history. This is the original, first hall of fame. Baseball, music, ect were mere followers. Busts of great Americans. Some you know, some forgotten to history and requiring further research overlooking a view of some upper Bronx and Manhattan and the Harlem River. On a campus (once NYU) with buildings like the magnificent, circular Gould Library that would be a major tourist attraction of it was in lower Manhattan instead of The Bronx. Well worth a visit.
