Every Stop Has a Story

The Battery

On a summer night in 1775, a student called Alexander Hamilton helped haul 21 cannons out of this fort while a British warship opened fire.

The Site of Public Unrest

In 1776, after the Declaration of Independence was read to Washington's troops, a crowd toppled the gilded statue of King George III in this park, and you can still see where the crowns were sawed off its iron fence.

A Revolutionary Meeting Place

Built in 1719 as a private house, this tavern hosted the Sons of Liberty, took a British cannonball through its roof, and saw George Washington bid farewell to his officers in 1783.

The Final Resting Place

Alexander Hamilton is buried in this churchyard beneath a white marble monument, and his wife Eliza, who spent her long widowhood guarding his legacy, was laid to rest beside him fifty years later.

The Seat of Government

George Washington was sworn in as the first president on this spot in 1789, and the building that stood here was home to the first Congress and Supreme Court.

The Room Where It Happened

A plaque marks the house where Thomas Jefferson hosted a dinner in 1790 that helped trade the site of the nation's capital for Hamilton's plan to take on $25 million in state war debts.

Park Theatre

Philip Hamilton confronted George Eacker in a box at the theater that stood here, and their quarrel in the lobby led to the duel that killed him.

King's College

Hamilton studied at King's College on this block, and when the college reopened after the Revolution in 1784 it was renamed Columbia to shed its royal origins.

Bayard House

After being rowed back across the Hudson from his fatal duel, Hamilton spent his final hours in a friend's house near here, surrounded by his family, before he died on the afternoon of 12 July 1804.

The Grange

Hamilton commissioned this country home, the only house he ever owned, and named it the Grange after his family's ancestral home in Scotland, though he lived here for just two years before his death.

Washington's Headquarters

George Washington used this hilltop mansion as his headquarters in the desperate autumn of 1776, and decades later Aaron Burr married its wealthy owner, Eliza Jumel, in the front parlor.
