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."
There is no shortage of biographies about Alexander Hamilton. His extensive papers have been scrutinized by generations of historians. Yet, no biographer has claimed that Elizabeth Hamilton ever visited Philadelphia during the Constitutional Convention. Newly revealed evidence suggests that Eliza in fact travelled to Philadelphia in June of 1787. This discovery is significant for several reasons, including the fact that Alexander presented the “Hamilton Plan” during an all-day speech at the Constitutional Convention on June 18. What role might the wives have played in Philadelphia? It is only fitting that Eliza’s story should be fully uncovered.
