Calling all Flat People!

Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown is the story of a boy who is flattened by a bulletin board. Because he is flat, he can travel by mail (which costs a lot less than traveling by plane or car).

Like Flat Stanley, Flat Rangers travel across the country by mail. They visit America's National Parks and send home pictures and information about all the places they see.

Are you looking for a great destination to send your Flat Ranger? Then look no further than Alexander Hamilton National Memorial (The Grange). Our Rangers will share the history that makes Alexander Hamilton National Memorial so special with your Flat Ranger.

By sending Flat Ranger to the Grange your little friend will get the VIP treatment while exploring Alexander Hamilton's summer home.

A Ranger will be Flat Ranger's personal guide during the visit. The highlights of the trip will be a visit into Hamilton's dining room, pallor and private study. Flat Ranger will also visit other areas around Hamilton's home. You will get photographs of Flat Ranger's visit and information about Alexander Hamilton National Memorial.
