In celebration of the 10th anniversary of “Hamilton: An American Musical” the Hamilton Grange and the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society are excited to host Marti Londal for a talk entitled “Hamilton: The Man vs The Musical.”
Many are familiar with Alexander Hamilton from the hit musical, but how much was true about the actual man? Join us to examine some myths from the musical and go beyond the lyrics to learn more about the ten-dollar founding father. The 45 minute talk followed by Q&A is free, no reservations required.
Marti Londal has been a Chapter President with the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society since 2015 and has served many roles including Chapter President, Marketing Director, Regional Director, and Nevis Unveiling Committee Member. She graduated from the University of Michigan majoring in Business and minoring in American History, and developed a passion for all things Alexander Hamilton long before the musical. She loves confronting myths propagated by the musical and using the recent enthusiasm for Revolutionary War history to go beyond the traditional textbooks to examine how precedents set 250 years ago are still very much a part of our daily lives.
The Hamilton Grange National Memorial is located at 414 W 141st St, New York, NY 10031
