The Grange Move & Restoration

Studies have been done to determine how the house looked in Hamilton's time, and the National Park Service fully restored the exterior and make it possible to view the entire structure. In its new Saint Nicholas Park location, it is possible to fully appreciate the beauty of the home that Hamilton helped design, and which he called his "sweet project."

You can learn about how the house was moved here in the move updates. This link has archival images and video of the preparation for the event and of moving day.
