CelebrateHAMILTON 2013
Program of AHA Society Events, July 11-14th
The Second Annual CelebrateHAMILTON Program
Why July 11th-14th? July 11th was the date that the duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton took place, from which Hamilton received a fatal bullet wound. Hamilton passed away the following day on July 12th. We use these days to not only honor his passing, but also to remember his life and achievements.
Note: All events are free unless otherwise noted. Some events require registration to guarantee seats. Event information is subject to change - check back on our flyer periodically for updates.
