Hall of Fame for Great Americans
Hall of Fame for Great Americans, Hall of Fame in The Bronx, United States.
The facility features a 630-foot colonnade with bronze busts representing notable Americans along a circular pathway at Bronx Community College.
The Hall of Fame, established in 1900, originated as part of New York University before transferring to Bronx Community College in 1973.
Each bronze bust represents individuals from science, politics, literature, and other fields who contributed to American development over multiple generations.
Visitors access the hall through Bronx Community College, with guided tours available during regular campus hours from Monday through Saturday.
The selection process requires nominees to be deceased for 25 years and receive votes from a panel of distinguished Americans.
