Hamilton Grange is Moving - to Reopen in 2009

Hamilton Grange, the home of Alexander Hamilton from 1802 - 1804, is being moved from its current site to St. Nicholas Park.

Learn More About the Hamilton Grange Move

Studies have been done to determine how the house looked in Hamilton's time, and the National Park Service intends to fully restore the exterior and make it possible to view the entire Grange. In its new St. Nicholas Park location, it will be possible to appreciate fully the beauty of the home Hamilton helped design and which he called his "sweet project." The interior of the house will re-open to the public in 2009.
