Hamilton Grange National Memorial (New York)
This park site consists of the home of Alexander
Hamilton for two years, from 1802 to 1804.
Hamilton became an important aide to George
Washington during the Revolutionary War. After the
War, he was instrumental in creating the
Constitution. He wrote many of the Federalist
Papers, which were a compilation of articles
encouraging ratification of the Constitution. When
George Washington was elected the first President,
Hamilton was appointed his Secretary of the
Treasury. Tragically, Hamilton was killed by Vice-
President Aaron Burr, in a duel on July 11, 1804.
