ABSTRACT

New York The plan to relocate the home of Alexander Hamilton, a National Memorial and National Historic Monument, to St. Nicholas Park in Manhattan was challenged in federal district court.1 In 1990, the Hamilton Heights Homeowners Association (HHHA) and the National Park Service (NPS) entered into a Memorandum of Agreement. The HHHA agreed to raise funds and contribute historic materials, and the NPS agreed to “administer and develop the Hamilton Grange National Memorial according to plans developed through a documented process of public participation, commensurate with available funds.”
