Alexander Hamilton & the Making of America with Joanne Freeman | Trinity Talks | Trinity Church NYC

Event date: May 6, 2026 Historian Joanne Freeman on the era that shaped a man, a city, and a nation. Join us at St. Paul’s Chapel for a free talk on the life and legacy of one of Trinity's most famous parishioners — Alexander Hamilton. As America nears its 250th anniversary, Freeman will plunge us into the charged atmosphere of New York City during the Revolutionary era, using the Founding Father's story as a lens into our nation’s history. Don’t miss a fascinating discussion as Freeman and Trinity’s rector, the Rev. Phillip A. Jackson, reflect on how the political intrigue, ambitions, and polarization of Hamilton’s time continue to echo today. This event was produced in collaboration with ‪@DowntownNYC‬.
