“Alexander Hamilton: The Man Who Made Modern America” is a national traveling exhibition organized by the New-York Historical Society, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, and the American Library Association. The traveling exhibition has been made possible in part through a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, dedicated to expanding American understanding of human experience and cultural heritage.
The traveling exhibition is based on the New-York Historical Society’s exhibition commemorating the 200th anniversary of Hamilton’s death as well as the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Society in 1804.
