Hamilton Grange National Memorial

Historic Half day difficulty: Easy with kids: yes

The only home Alexander Hamilton ever owned, now a National Park Service site in Harlem. You tour its restored rooms —the study, the parlor— just as they were when the first Secretary of the Treasury lived here with his family. Free entry.

The pop wink

This is the home of Alexander Hamilton, the lead of Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton. The «Grange» that Hamilton names in the show is this real place.

With kids

Walk through the study where Hamilton wrote his letters
Look for the details of the house that appear in the songs
Discover that the man on the ten-dollar bill lived here

Accessibility: 8 and up; a short, guided visit, better if they already know the history or the musical

With family

Take the free guided tour by the Park Service
Listen to the musical before going, to recognize everything
Combine it with a stroll through Harlem and upper Manhattan
Finish at Trinity Church, where his grave is
