Merchant’s clerk, Revolutionary War soldier, first Secretary Treasury of the United States: Alexander Hamilton’s life is memorialized at The Grange, the home he built on a country estate in uptown Manhattan. A faithful testament to early American architecture, it stands today as a tribute to its first owner’s many accomplishments.

National parks in New York City were in the spotlight as the National Park Service kicks-off National Park Week, which runs April 20 through 28. National Park Service Director Chuck Sams began a weeklong coast-to-coast tour with visits to Hamiliton Grange and General Grant national memorials, two of the dozen national parks in the immediate New York City area. The national parks in New York City provided opportunities to reflect on the origins of the United States and the tremendous contributions of people, whether well-known or unknown, to the American story.
