Hamilton Grange preserves the home Alexander Hamilton commissioned in the early 1800s on what was then an uptown country estate. As Manhattan expanded, the house was moved from its original location and later relocated to St. Nicholas Park, where it stands today. The story of the house is also a story of a city growing around its historic places.

Fun facts

  1. Hamilton commissioned the home in 1801.

  3. The National Park Service moved the house to St. Nicholas Park in 2008.
