Discover the charmingly restored home of a founding father, complete with furnished rooms and an engaging tour that brings history to life.
"Hamilton Grange “It’s quiet uptown.” So sings founding father Alexander Hamilton in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical. While those ticket prices are still astronomical, it’s free to visit and tour Hamilton’s uptown home in Harlem—named the Grange after his grandfather’s Scotland estate and now a National Historic Landmark. Rather like Hamilton, the two-story Federal home has had a turbulent history, including a few moves, most recently in 2008 to St. Nicholas Park, within the boundaries of Hamilton’s original 32-acre estate. The period rooms were renovated in 2011, and 13 sweet gum trees planted outside, just as Hamilton had done in honor of the original colonies."
The least interesting part of this park, mostly just a waypoint to start walking the park and the college. There is no season that this walk is not incredible. I've done it in heavy snow, downpours, at night (now) etc. and it's always great. Go halfway back down the park and then wind through the college and wonder why they built a literal castle to teach 18 year olds in
