New York's Own - Alexander Hamilton & Hamilton Grange
Hamilton Grange National Memorial is temporarily closed due to restoration and relocation. However, the National Parks of New York Harbor will continue to conduct programs related to Alexander Hamilton at Federal Hall National Memorial, where visitors can view exhibits formerly on display at Hamilton Grange.
Alexander Hamilton had a very close relationship with New York City. He was a student at Kings College (now Columbia University), participated in the Battle of New York in 1776, commanded New York troops at Yorktown, practiced law and served as Secretary of the Treasury when New York was the Nation's capital. Hamilton died in New York City in 1804 as a result of wounds received in a duel with Aaron Burr. He is buried one block from Federal Hall in Trinity Church Yard.
Visit Federal Hall to learn more about one of New York's most famous residents. Soon we will be launching the Alexander Hamilton Junior Ranger Program so our younger visitors can get to know one of our foremost Founding Fathers. more...
