Description
If you cannot get tickets to the hottest Broadway show Hamilton, you can visit his statue
located in Central Park behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1880 James Hamilton (Alexander’s son) commissioned this statue made of fireproof granite. (An earlier statue made of Marble had been destroyed in an explosion in 1835). Alexander Hamilton had been involved in developing a water system for the city of New York. The statue when erected on this site was initially situated between the two reservoirs that were part of Central Park in 1880.
One of the nation's Founding Fathers and co-author of the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton was one of the distinguished residents of the neighborhood that eventually became known as Hamilton Heights. In 1800, he began construction in Harlem on his country home – an estate known as the Grange. Fatally wounded in a duel with political rival Aaron Burr in 1804, he was buried in Lower Manhattan's Trinity Church cemetery.
