(Sold Out) Hamilton: The Trolley Tour

An encore performance! Hamilton is a smash hit on Broadway, and these days the man and his legacy are all the rage. Now you can get your fill of the saga at Green-Wood! Although Alexander himself rests elsewhere, many family members and those who crossed his path are interred here. Led by historian Jeff Richman, you’ll visit Robert Troup, Hamilton's college roommate with whom he had a lifelong close relationship; William Peter Van Ness, who was Burr's “second” during that fateful duel; Hamilton's son, John, who spent years studying his father’s history; Hamilton's grandchildren, Elizabeth and Schuyler; William Livingston, who served in the Constitutional Congress with Hamilton; and many others. You’ll also discuss the Battle of Brooklyn – fought on land that is now part of Green-Wood – and Hamilton's role in that battle, the largest of the American Revolution.

Green-Wood’s public programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, as well as the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
