Hamilton Grange National Memorial Collections

Hamilton Grange was Alexander Hamilton's country home in northern Manhattan between 1802 and 1804. Designed by prominent architect John McComb, Jr., it is an important example of early Federal Period architecture.

In addition to the building itself, collections include Historic American Building Survey (HABS) drawings that beautifully illustrate the Grange and many of its architectural details, as well as a special collection of books owned by Hamilton that provide insight into his interests and some of the sources of his views on government, economics, etc.

An interesting artifact that was only recently uncovered is:

Alexander Hamilton Mourning Scarf commemorating Hamilton's death in 1804 from his duel with Aaron Burr. Featured audio commentary by historian & author Richard Brookhiser.
