After the tour got over I just roamed around in the ground floor which had few information about Hamilton. He was the first American involved in a sex scandal which damaged his reputation and forced him out of public life. He was killed in a duel between Aaron Burr the then vice president of United States.
He is one of the two non US president to be put on a currency note.
He favored government over business and felt that government was needed to control business.Below are the few of other stuffs I found interesting in the place.
