About
The Hall of Fame for Great Americans was founded in 1900 by Cornelius McCracken, the president of New York University, to celebrate Americans who have made a profound impact on American History. The 630-foot open-air Colonnade is designed by Stanford White and features bronze busts of the 102 Hall of Fame honorary, and overlooks the Harlem River. The honorees include a huge range of trailblazers from authors and architects to statesmen and explorers, such as Alexander Graham Bell and Eli Whitney.
