With the success of the hit musical Hamilton, this tour was created to help people understand how an illegitimate immigrant finds his way to New York, remakes himself, and becomes one of America's most brilliant, charismatic, and controversial founding fathers! Walk in the footsteps of Alexander Hamilton through New York City’s oldest neighborhood, the financial district, and discover how this famous New Yorker has his fingerprints on nearly every landmark these streets have to offer.

This adventure begins at Trinity Church, where Hamilton was buried as a result of one of the darkest days in American political history. Learn how Hamilton arrived in America on the eve of a revolution and quickly became one of the most influential minds of his day, only to be shot dead before his 50th birthday. The tour will stop by Zuccotti Park and uncover how more recent revolutionary movements like Occupy Wall Street trace their roots to Hamilton’s ambitious plans for American prosperity.

Next, you’ll learn how Hamilton’s role as America’s first Secretary of the Treasury ultimately led to the creation of the New York Stock Exchange. Across the street sits Federal Hall, where Hamilton looked on as George Washington was sworn in as the nation's first president and where he served in the first cabinet. You’ll then check out the two Wall Street skyscrapers that still stand as reminders of the epic feud between Hamilton and Burr, one emblazoned with the name of one of our more recent politicians and local celebrities, Donald Trump.

Finally, you’ll make your way down the first paved street in New York City to one of the oldest bars in town where Hamilton himself used to drink with George Washington. Along the entire route, you will discover not only Hamilton’s history in New York but also how he epitomizes the American Dream, created the modern world we live in, inspired many wealthy leaders who continue to shape this city and world, and finally, how he wrestled with the questions of wealth, privilege, and power in ways that are just as relevant today as they were in the 1700s.

Stroll the streets of New York’s oldest neighborhood and retrace the steps of one of America's founding fathers, Mr. Alexander Hamilton, on this tour. Discover how Wall Street, the Stock Exchange, and the US financial system began with this young immigrant. This tour ends at the historic Fraunces Tavern where you have the option of complimenting your stroll through history with a pint at this colonial New York landmark.
