Hamilton Grange the place built by Alexander Hamilton was renovated and reopened to public last month.The property transferred few hands and was with a church. Then the National park service got it from them and moved the house from that place . They literally carried the house 100 feet up from the ground using a crane and moved to hill where it is located now.
There was not many people in the place and I signed for a tour around the house ,first I was the only person in that tour and guide was explaining little bit about the importance of Alexander Hamilton by being the founder of national treasury and building the initial foundation to make new york city financial capital of the world.Then a family joined the tour ,they had a eight year old kid who was named Alexander. Then the tour guide started explaining the American war of Independence how battle for new york proved to be a turning point. Then he took us around the house explaining the old architecture ,furniture working etc.
Then we were left on our own to explore the little of the remaining stuffs for ourselves.
