Hamilton Grange National Memorial
This was Alexander Hamilton's only home, completed in 1802, just two years before Burr killed him. The Federal-style house has been moved twice to preserve it — most recently in 2008 to nearby St. Nicholas Park, restored to its original colors. After the musical, people line up for Hamilton's grave downtown; far fewer come uptown to the actual house where he lived. It's the more intimate site.
Hamilton's 1802 Federal-style country house — the only home he ever owned, moved twice to save it.
