The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking public input on
the exhibit content and design for the Hamilton Grange National Memorial.

Following the restoration of Hamilton Grange in St. Nicholas Park, the new
ground floor level of the building will become a visitor center focusing on
the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton and the home he built for his
family in Harlem. Current planning and programming for the visitor
experience at the Grange includes interpretive and interactive exhibits as
well as an orientation gallery and short narrative film within this space.
Guided tours of the restored and furnished historic spaces on the first
floor of the house are planned to enhance and complement the interpretive
exhibits on the ground floor.

The NPS would like to engage the public in the early stages of this design
process to help generate ideas for interpretive themes, content
development, and other thoughts for the future exhibit design for Hamilton
Grange. The NPS is seeking input from a variety of stakeholders –
including local community groups and neighborhood associations, educators
and academics, park visitors and other interested parties – to inform and
comment on this design process. It is anticipated that the design and
fabrication of the exhibits will be completed and installed within the
building in time for the Grange’s re-opening.
