The Hamilton Grange National Memorial was completed in 1802 and, while he only lived here for 2 years, it is thought to be the only home Alexander Hamilton owned. The house has been moved on 2 separate occasions, but it still stands on the 32-acre property that belonged to Hamilton in the early 19th century.
Admission is free, and this is a great stop for a short tour for history enthusiasts. While you're free to explore parts of the house on your own, the detailed period rooms are only available during guided tours.

Highlights of The Hamilton Grange National Memorial
The Federal-style home was fashioned by John McComb, and Hamilton named it The Grange in honour of his father's ancestral home in Scotland. Hamilton was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr and was only able to spend 2 years in the house, but his widow resided in the home for 30 additional years.
The current location was selected to imitate the original countryside location, with a high hill standing over Harlem. The site was landscaped with sweetgum trees like in the original garden as well as a rose garden fashioned to Hamilton's own design.
