Alexander Hamilton - The Man Who Made Modern America (April 2009 - June 2009)

Alexander Hamilton was one of the most influential of the founding fathers especially in the early years of the new government under George Washington. In this exhibit, his life is explored using four themes - as an Immigrant / Soldier, a Lawmaker / Economist, a Futurist and The Duel. There is also a section called Hamilton’s Bookshelf which contains works that Hamilton consulted, some throughout his lifetime. Here is a sample of items included in the exhibit.
