Alexander Hamilton: The Man Who Made Modern America is a traveling panel exhibit that examines Hamilton's central role during the Revolutionary War and Founding period (1774-1804) in creating the economic, constitutional, social, journalistic, political and foreign policy templates for modern America. The exhibit will acquaint visitors with a statesman and visionary whose life inspired discussion and controversy and shaped the America we live in 200 years after his death.

The exhibit will be on display at the James City County Library, 7770 Croaker Road, Norge from June 28 to August 7 during normal library hours. The exhibit is free of charge.

Alexander Hamilton: The Man Who Made Modern America is organized by the The New-York Historical Society, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, and the American Library Association. The traveling exhibition has been made possible in part through a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, dedicated to expanding American understanding of human experience and cultural heritage.

The traveling exhibition is based on the New-York Historical Society's exhibition commemorating the 200th anniversary of Hamilton's death as well as the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Society in 1804.

Programs associated with this exhibit are made possible through a grant from the Friends of Williamsburg Regional Library.
