An immersive journey through Colonial New York, led by Hamilton himself. If you love the Musical, you will love this. Since 1990, more than 30,000 guests have spent a Sunday morning where the Revolution actually happened.
Hamilton makes history come alive, sharing anecdotes from his days at King's College to helping the Constitution become ratified, all while pointing out what is still familiar to him in NYC.
Our Revolutionary spirit still lives in New York. I will take you to where I drilled with Revolutionary Soldiers, where the Sons of Liberty erected Liberty Poles, where Patriots fought the British prior to the Boston Massacre, and to America's First War Memorial. We can even still see the destruction left behind by our patriot brothers after the Reading of the Declaration of Independence. We will discuss the important events that occurred as we stand by the sites of these moments. I would also like to share the cultural significance of 18th-century life as we see the actual remains of a Colonial Prison, Water Well, and Tavern from the 1600s.

"Fabulous and personal tour of colonial New York City. We recently spent a Sunday morning in lower Manhattan with a very dapper and knowledgeable Alexander Hamilton (Scott). His comments about the personalities of our founding fathers were very insightful and gave us a new perspective on the history of our country."

First Secretary of the Treasury. Founding Father. Author of the Federalist Papers. Resident of New York. The character at the center of the tour.
Hamilton arrived in New York from the West Indies in 1772, attended King's College (now Columbia), drilled with Revolutionary soldiers in the streets near Wall Street, and rose to become George Washington's most trusted aide. After the war he founded the Bank of New York, championed the ratification of the Constitution, and shaped the American financial system.
Much of the city he knew is still here — if you know where to look. The walking tour shows you the buildings, streets, and burial places where the Revolution actually happened, with Hamilton himself as your guide.
