About this Event
Imagine if Alexander Hamilton came back to life and was seen walking the streets of lower Manhattan. Would he recognize anything of the New York he knew and loved? The answer is yes.
Join Alexander Hamilton as he makes history come alive sharing anecdotes, from his days at Kings College to helping the Constitution become ratified, all while pointing out what is still familiar to him in NYC.
We will discuss the important events that occurred as we stand by the site of:
- The first US Congress
- The first Supreme Court
- President Washington’s Residence
- Vice President Thomas Jefferson’s Residence
- Thomas Jefferson’s VP and my assassin, Aaron Burr’s Law Office
- And of course all the important places where I spent time in the area.
This is a rare opportunity to learn about the creation of the United States from a man that was instrumental in its creation. Learn about the reasons behind the actions of our Revolutionary forefathers. Reinforce your knowledge concerning the events that created our great nation. Appreciate how an illegitimate boy of Scottish desent became the embodiment of the American dream as he demonstrated foresight, wit, courage and intellect throughout his life.
