We will take you on a trip through the lives of these two incredible men. Get to know them through their own words, the views of the people around them, and the events of the times.
On this walking tour you will experience NYC before, during and after the American Revolution. A city torn apart, burned, rebuilt and on its way to becoming the greatest financial center in the world. But getting there would take us through some of the bitterest, nastiest political debate our state and nation have ever known. Visit some of the oldest remaining historic sites in New York City like St. Paul’s Chapel, Federal Hall and Trinity Church Graveyard. Step into the world of Hamilton and Burr, visit the sites that were part of their daily lives and get to know the people around them. Follow their paths as they lead to that fateful day in 1804 at Weehawken, New Jersey.
See original, uncensored documents from the time period including excerpts from the letters between Hamilton and Burr. Get to know these two extraordinary men as they really were; the truth is much more fascinating than the stories we've grown up with.
