Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Hamilton Grange National Memorial adventure.
Alexander Hamilton's life was about more than just his famous duel with Aaron Burr. It was about helping to forge a nation. His memorial (also the home he died in) is in upper Manhattan, New York, at the north end of St. Nicholas Park. Not only does the early 18th-century estate contain details on the life of this great man, but it's also a historical place with Federal style architecture.
After exploring the memorial, take a leisurely walk around 23-acre St. Nicholas Park. While there, visit nearby museums and historic sites such as Strivers' Row, Tree of Hope, and the Freedom Journey Foundation Museum. Plus, it's less than two miles from Central Park.
There's no camping in the immediate vicinity of Hamilton Grange. Head to Floyd Bennet Field in Brooklyn or Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island for a place to stay the night. Hipcamp can help you find the perfect spot to hang your hat.
While you can come any time of the year and have a great time in New York City, opt for the spring, summer, or fall for the most nature has to offer. Winter can be cold and snowy.
