Historian Joanne Freeman on the era that shaped a man, a city, and a nation.

Join Trinity Church and the Downtown Alliance 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.

Doors open at 5:15pm with light refreshments offered.

New York on Film is a screening series featuring films that highlight the history, culture and controversy that has defined the city over the years. Screenings are followed by conversations with notable figures who are involved with the film or the subject matter, allowing attendees to engage more deeply with the content. Proceeds are donated to a charitable organization of our speakers’ choice.
