Lately everyone is talking about Alexander Hamilton, but did you know that he had a close and important connection to Albany? Founding father Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) first visited Albany in 1777 to speak to General Horatio Gates on behalf of George Washington. Three years later Hamilton married Elizabeth Schuyler in the parlor of her Albany home, the Pastures, now known as Schuyler Mansion. For the next 20 years, Hamilton was connected to Albany, traveling her to visit in-laws and conduct legal business. The Albany Institute of History and Art has a special exhibit that highlights objects related to Alexander Hamilton from the collection with a portrait of him by Ezra Ames courtesy of the Union College Permanent Collection in Schenectady and a silver tankard from the Fort Ticonderoga Museum.
NNORC will have a special tour of the exhibit lead by former JFS Social Worker, Jeannie Straussman. After our private tour, spend time seeing the other exhibits, shopping at the Institute’s gift shop or lunching at the Institute’s café. There is parking behind the Institute. If you are interested in attending, but need a ride, the NNORC staff will try our best to arrange that.
