🏛️ NYC Hidden Gem | Hamilton Grange National Memorial 🇺🇸✨
Calling all Hamilton musical fans and history buffs! This stunning white Georgian villa in Harlem was Alexander Hamilton's final home—where he and Eliza built their dream retreat in 1802 after political turmoil. Now a museum (floors 1-2 open; 3rd floor usually closed). 🏡 Relocated Twice! The current site preserves the original basement layout (now visitor center). Spot authentic structural details! 🖼️ 2nd Floor Highlights: • Entrance Hall: Doors to parlor/dining room/study. $620 marble bust replica of Hamilton! • Study: Original green wallpaper, 13 sweetgum trees (symbolizing colonies) outside. 5 surviving books from Hamilton's private collection! 📚 • Dining Room: Hosted historic dinners. Fold-up windows lead to balcony! Washington allegedly gifted those blue wine bottles after the Reynolds Pamphlet scandal. 🍷 • Parlor: Social hub with Hamilton's authentic piano (played with daughter Angelica)—the room's only original item! 🎹 🚇 Getting There: Subway: 1 to 137/145 St; A/B/C to 135 St; A/B/C/D to 145 St. ⏰ Hours: Wed-Sun 10AM-5PM. 🎟️ FREE entry + tours! • 25-min guided tours at 11:30AM/1:30PM/3:30PM daily (+10:30AM/2:30PM weekends). • First-come sign-up—staff help if slots fill! #HamiltonFanatic #NYCHistory #HiddenNYC #MuseumFreebie #FoundingFathers
