Historian Joanne Freeman on the era that shaped a man, a city, and a nation.
About this Event

Join us at St. Paul’s Chapel for a free talk on the life and legacy of one of Trinity's most famous parishioners — Alexander Hamilton. As America nears its’ 250th anniversary, Freeman will plunge us into the charged atmosphere of New York City during the Revolutionary era, using the Founding Father’s story as a lens into our nation’s history.

Don’t miss a fascinating discussion as Freeman and Trinity’s rector, the Rev. Phillip A. Jackson, reflect on how the political intrigue, ambitions, and polarization of Hamilton’s time continue to echo today.


Doors open at 5:15pm with light refreshments offered.

Registration for this free event is highly recommended as seating is limited. Admission is first-come, first-served, with ticket holders receiving priority (although not guaranteed entrance if the venue reaches capacity).
