Description
In 1837, at the age of eighty, Eliza Hamilton visited Wisconsin. Why? Like any good mother she came to visit her son. William Hamilton was a territorial lead miner and legislator and a bit of a black sheep in the family. He is also our state’s connection to “Hamilton: An American Musical” the blockbuster Broadway hit musical. Tune in to hear Simone Munson provide more insight into this pioneering son and share highlights from the collections of the Wisconsin Historical Society.
