Step Inside Alexander Hamilton's Beloved NYC Home, The Grange

On this episode of the Grateful American™ Series, we take you inside the home of founding father Alexander Hamilton.

The Hamilton Grange National Memorial is a National Park Service site in upper New York City.

To talk about the home, Hamilton, and the impact he made on American history is Liam Strain — who currently serves as District Ranger for a collection of individually legislated units of the National Park System that also includes Grant's Tomb and Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace N. Memorial.

Your co-hosts for the show are David Bruce Smith and Hope Katz Gibbs, who ask Strain about:

1. The life of Alexander Hamilton — chief of staff to George Washington, and an influential promoter of the Constitution. He was also the Secretary of the Treasury.

2. How he came to own this home — and why it was moved twice before landing in its current location.

3. What else makes this place so interesting — especially for kids?

4. Hamilton is also infamous for the duel he had with Aaron Burr on July 11, 1804. Why is that everybody remembers that incident, and virtually none of Hamilton's other accomplishments?

And don't miss the three fascinating facts about Alexander Hamilton that you can talk about with your kids tonight at dinner.
