About this audio guide
This guide to Trinity Church in New York traces the final days of Alexander Hamilton, from the political feud with Aaron Burr that led him to a Weehawken dueling ground in July 1804 to the words he exchanged with Trinity's rector as he lay dying. It follows the funeral held here two days later, with his young sons watching Gouverneur Morris deliver the eulogy from the church portico. Listen for the story of the family Hamilton left behind, gathered just steps from where you're standing.
