As the Schuyler sisters sing, “The revolution's happening in New York."
Step into that turbulent city during the 18th century and explore the places, people, and events that inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda’s groundbreaking work Hamilton: An American Musical.
Led by the owner of Broadway Up Close Tim Dolan, this time-travelling virtual tour traces Alexander Hamilton’s life and legacy through the streets that shaped him, examining how New York City functioned as a crucible for revolution, finance, politics, and ideas in the 1700s. Along the way, Dolan links memorable moments from the long-running musical to their historical foundations and uncovers lesser-known stories about Hamilton, Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, and their contemporaries.
He also pulls back the curtain on the creation of Hamilton, sharing insights and behind-the-scenes anecdotes that reveal how Revolutionary-era history was transformed into a modern cultural phenomenon. Through maps, images, and storytelling, visit key sites including Stone Street, Fraunces Tavern, Bowling Green, Federal Hall, Wall Street, and Trinity Church—culminating with Hamilton’s final resting place.
