Don't throw away your shot to experience Broadway’s award-winning Hamilton: An American Musical as it returns to the Kennedy Center Aug. 2—Oct. 9.

Whether you want to continue your adventures after attending Hamilton at the Kennedy Center or you just want to celebrate the founder of our national banking system, we’ve got some great ideas for you.

Catch ‘Hamilton’ at the Kennedy Center

A shining example of musical theater at its finest, Hamilton has reached the pinnacle of performing arts thanks to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s imaginative interpretation of Alexander Hamilton’s life story. The production set itself apart from other Broadway musicals thanks to an innovative score – containing songs heavily influenced by hip-hop – and its recasting of America’s Founding Fathers with a diverse cast. You can bet Hamilton is the hottest ticket in town. Visit the  Kennedy Center’s website for more ticketing information.

See the First Postage Stamps to Feature Hamilton

National Postal Museum

Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum is home to the original 1870 postage stamps that were the first to picture Hamilton. The Ceracchi bust of Hamilton appeared on the 30¢ stamp from 1870 until 1890. Hamilton’s portrait did not appear on postage again until 1956. Among the Hamilton collection are also special stamps known as “officials,” issued for use by executive departments of the Federal government, as well as an 1870s beer tax stamp.

Get to Know Hamilton the Soldier

Well before they dueled, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton were members of the same esteemed guild, the Society of the Cincinnati, which is devoted to preserving “the ideals and fellowship of officers of the Continental Army.” Hamilton bested Burr, however, when he was named the second president general of the group, succeeding George Washington. The Society endures today in a free-to-visit mansion along Embassy Row in Dupont Circle. Take part in a tour to view a portrait of Hamilton, completed posthumously and donated by his family, and discover the history of the Society with items and portraits of people that Hamilton would have either known or been aware of, including a mural of the founding of the Society in May of 1783 that occupies a whole wall of one room.

Following the war, he continued to serve in the military as an aide-de-camp to Washington, helping to put down the Whiskey Rebellion. Hamilton’s military career enhanced his reputation and leadership abilities and helped him become one of America’s founding fathers.

Today you can visit the Anderson House on Embassy Row in Dupont Circle to get a glimpse of his military career.  The house features a portrait of Hamilton that was donated by his family.  The home also contains several items belonging to the Society of the Cincinnati, a guild that Hamilton belonged to.  The guild was devoted to upholding the ideals and fellowships of the Continental Army.

Alexander Hamilton: A Washington Presence All-Day Tour

Full day tour, select your tickets.

Although Alexander Hamilton always called New York home, his image and influence is found all around Washington, D.C. Join local historian Kathleen Bashian for a tour of sites that reflect the vision and leadership of this Founding Father—well before he was reinvented as a Broadway musical phenomenon.

Visit the United States Capitol to view paintings and sculptures of Hamilton and the people who influenced his life, and to discuss Hamilton’s military campaigns. Walk through the tunnel to the Library of Congress (where the bulk of Alexander Hamilton’s original papers reside) for a special program with scholar Denver Brunsman, who discusses Hamilton’s vision of government and his role in the Compromise of 1790, which led to Washington becoming the nation’s capital—and is depicted in the song “The Room Where It Happens” in Hamilton .

 A 3-course lunch takes place (where else?) at the Hamilton, as Brunsman looks at Hamilton’s monetary policy and how it applies to its contemporary counterpart. Afterward, visit the Society of the Cincinnati’s headquarters at Anderson House to learn about Hamilton’s leadership of the society and his duel with Aaron Burr. Go behind the scenes for a preview of some of the artifacts that are part of an upcoming exhibition on Hamilton, including his military uniform.

During the day, participants view the statue of Hamilton on the steps of the Treasury Building, and sculptures in Lafayette Square of the military men who Hamilton knew during the Revolutionary War. In the H Street neighborhood where Eliza Hamilton spent her final days, learn about her later life spent advocating for charitable causes and defending the name of her beloved spouse.

Hamilton's D.C.

Washington on your side

New York City’s claim to fame as hometown of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton got an astronomical boost when Hamilton, a musical about the orphan immigrant whose outsize intellect and ferocious energy singularly shaped the newborn United States, opened on Broadway August 6, 2015. Critical and popular response was rapturous; tickets are sold out months in advance.  But remember, Big Apple, it’s nice to have “Washington on Your Side.”  Hamilton’s wife Eliza relocated to the nation’s capital, residing here until her death at age 97. And those “diametric’lly opposed, foes” of Mr. Hamilton, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, each spent eight years in D.C. as U.S. President. 

Washington D.C. sites associated with Alexander Hamilton

There are so many Washington sites associated with this groundbreaking musical that a Hamilton-themed walking tour is in order. 

Join Washington Walks to see where you can find “the Lancelot of the revolutionary set” Marquis de Lafayette, why the code name was Rochambeau, D.C.’s take on “Ten Duel Commandments,” and, perhaps most significantly, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—that would be the former home of Barack and Michelle Obama, Hamilton fans extraordinaire and two of the people who were in the “room when it happened.”

The walk concludes near The Hamilton restaurant and bar, where participants can order a “Hamilton Mule” and “raise a glass to freedom.”

Welcome to The Hamilton

A uniquely eclectic experience located just steps from the White House, The Hamilton has quickly become Washington, DC’s favorite gathering place for music, art, entertainment and inventive dining. The Hamilton is designed to welcome any crowd or party in search of an exceptional way to celebrate.

Strange and amazing, unlikely and enviable, the life of Alexander Hamilton could be a blueprint for the evolution of Washington, DC. This is a man who started off an orphan and ended up a lawyer, banker and founding father before dying famously in a duel with the Vice President of the United States. First built to house the federal government, DC is now a city where polish and sophistication have been charmed by a bohemian spirit yielding a new, thriving, artistic underground. Located just two blocks from the White House, the District's newest destination for envelope-pushing, visionary music and talent defies convention, much like Hamilton himself.

As part of Clyde’s Restaurant Group, we are proud to feature local, fresh, and sustainable foods across our menus.

How to Plan a Hamilton the Musical Inspired Trip

Sharing is caring!

With the release of Hamilton the musical on Disney+, I wanted to take the time to relive my mini Hamilton -inspired trip—while listening to the cast recording of the hit Broadway play, of course! I didn’t set out for this trip to be inspired by Hamilton the musical or the Revolution. However, as it has been so prevalent in our society recently, it was hard to ignore Mr. Alexander Hamilton along the way.

The places listed below were part of a more extensive East Coast USA trip that took me from North Carolina to Virginia and then to Washington, DC. However, even though that was the case, I’ll lay out an itinerary inspired by Hamilton the musical to the best of my ability. I went through this at a rather fast pace, doing Monticello and George Washington’s Mount Vernon in one day. Which, when I mentioned it to locals, they found it astonishing. So, if you like to take your time, make sure to add more room than I did on my Hamilton the musical itinerary here.

Not all of the places I’ll be listing have to do with Hamilton the musical directly. Some locations are related to other characters mentioned in the Broadway show, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. I hope you enjoy my Hamilton the musical inspired itinerary!

Day 1: George Washington at Tryon Palace

I’ve written about Tryon Palace before in reference to the Starz TV series Outlander . George Washington himself appears in the series, which is one of the truths of the popular historical drama. George Washington did indeed visit Tryon Palace in New Bern, North Carolina.

Originally built between 1767 and 1770, Tryon Palace was the first permanent capital of the Colony of North Carolina and home to the Royal Governor and his family. However, that didn’t last long, as the American Revolution began with the Patriots making the Palace their capital. It also became home to the first sessions of the General Assembly, where they started designing a free and independent state.

The John Wright Stanly House

On the evening of April 21, 1791, Tryon Palace held a dinner and dance in honor of President George Washington, who was exploring New Bern while on his Southern Tour. While in town, he stayed at the John Wright Stanly House, which is now located just across the street from Tryon Palace.

Named after former owner John Wright Stanly, a Revolutionary War veteran, the home had been moved twice before. The last move was in 1965 when it was restored as part of the Tryon Palace complex.

The John Wright Stanly House was empty when George Washington was in New Bern. There’s a local legend that the people of New Bern realized what an elegant house it was, so they opened it up, cleaned it, and put in their own furnishings inside for President Washington to use. George Washington later wrote in his diary that he had enjoyed “exceeding good lodgings.”

I recommend a day in New Bern to do the Tryon Palace tours and the John Wright Stanly House. As New Bern is centrally located, it’s easy to walk around town and grab a bite to eat and such. It’s an excellent way to spend Day 1 of your Hamilton the musical itinerary.

Day 2: American Revolution Museum at Yorktown

About a three-and-a-half-hour drive north, you’ll find yourself in Yorktown, which is mentioned in Hamilton the musical! The American Revolution Museum provides an in-depth look at the story of the nation’s founding while also hosting excellent exhibits, in-person presenters, interactive environments, and films.

You must see “The Siege of Yorktown,” a 180-degree film experience. Featuring the likes of General Washington and Rochambeau, British General Cornwallis, and Alexander Hamilton in his first military role in the Continental Army with his famous words – “Rush On Boys!” Hamilton’s big moment in the revolution!

In their exhibits, you’ll see hundreds of artifacts such as military equipment, maps, paintings, engravings, furnishings, and personal effects. Primarily covering the colonial period to the Constitution, their galleries make the experience personal by showcasing objects made and used by people of the period.

Exhibit Themes:

“The British Empire and America” examines the relationship between America and Britain before the Revolution.

“The Changing Relationship – Britain and North America” showcases the growing rift between the American colonies and Britain. In 1774, the Patriots proclaimed that “our cause we leave to heaven and our rifles.”

“Revolution”  follows the war, starting with the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775 and ending with victory at Yorktown in 1781. It includes an exhibit on the Declaration of Independence, which features a very early printing of this document. It also features stories of Patriots, Loyalists, women, and enslaved and free African Americans as they question, defy, or contribute to the Revolutionary War effort.

“The New Nation”  shows the challenges faced by the United States in the 1780s, including a weak government under the Articles of Confederation, an unstable postwar economy, and new social tensions that culminated in the creation of the Constitution.

“The American People”  compares and contrasts America after the Revolution with America before the Revolution.

Alexander Hamilton in the Revolution

My favorite part of visiting the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown was a lecture on Alexander Hamilton. They had other notable figures I could have heard about as well, but of course, I chose the Hamilton one. They had a very knowledgeable man there who gave an action-packed talk about Alexander’s life and legacy, with a short mention of Hamilton the musical, of course.

If you’re visiting, I highly recommend checking out a lecture. It was a great way to get informed and entertained in a short amount of time. I learned a lot about Hamilton in the Revolution from this lecture.

Day 3-4: Colonial Williamsburg

About a 20-minute drive away, you’ll find yourself at Colonial Williamsburg. I have to say, I only spent a day here, and I wish I had spent more! However, living history museums are not for everyone, so if you’re unsure, try one day. Then leave time for another if you can, as there is SO much to do!

I enjoyed my time at Colonial Williamsburg as I love re-enactments and they have a ton of them going on! I sincerely mean that there was so much I could not pack it all in one day! There were hands-on activities, guided tours, demonstrations, lectures, art collections, and more! Their original 18th-century buildings take you back in time to what it would have been like in Colonial Williamsburg. The people that work there are all in period costumes and are incredibly knowledgeable.

As the largest outdoor living museum in the US, it is an impressive place to go on your Hamilton the musical tour. While I didn’t find anything about Alexander Hamilton while I was there, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson (seen above), and Marquis de Lafayette are featured in Nation Builders.

In these presentations, real historical figures are portrayed who made significant contributions to American history and are associated with 18th-century Williamsburg.

Day 4: Yorktown Battlefield

A 25-minute drive away, you’ll find the  Yorktown Battlefield, which is a great driving tour. I did this in a couple of hours in the afternoon. It was an excellent way to stay mostly in the car and out of the heat! As you’ll likely know from the musical, the Battle of Yorktown was the site of the last major battle of the American Revolutionary War. It secured independence for the United States and was Alexander Hamilton’s shining military moment.

Before going on the driving tour, you can visit the National Park Services’ Yorktown Battlefield Visitor Center to see a 16-minute introductory film on the Siege at Yorktown. Their exhibit also includes portions of the headquarters tents George Washington used throughout the war, as well as historic buildings such as the 1730 Nelson House, the Moore House (picture below), where the surrender terms were negotiated, and the National Cemetery Lodge.

If you’d prefer a guided tour, ranger-guided ones of the battlefield are offered throughout the day. I did the two self-guided tour routes, for a total of 16 miles. Maps of the driving tours can be found at the Visitor Center, as can the $5 CD I bought at the gift shop, which was great for giving background at stops along the way.

Now, if you’re looking for something to skip on this Hamilton the musical itinerary, this may be it. This self-guided driving tour takes you to a bunch of fields where this battle once was. There isn’t that much to see other than grass and some plaques. However, I appreciated that I could do it at my own pace, in my car, in AC.

Day 5: Monticello

Just over a two-hour drive away, you’ll get to Thomas Jefferson’s home at Monticello. Monticello sits at the summit of an 850-foot (260 m)-high peak, deriving its name from the Italian meaning “little mountain.”

His plantation included several buildings and quarters for enslaved Africans who worked in the home. As well as gardens for flowers, produce, tobacco, crops, and Jefferson’s experiments in plant breeding. Thomas Jefferson was also buried on the grounds in an area now designated as the Monticello Cemetery.

It appears they have changed their tours since I went, as I did a lot of the things on the Private Behind the Scenes tour, but I did not pay the amount they have currently shown. I went last year before COVID-19, so it’s probably due to that. They also had a Hamilton Tour Takeover that I wasn’t able to attend, as I did the first available tour to get to Mount Vernon afterward.

The guided tour I went on, I was able to see the main floor and the private quarters on the second and third floors, including the Dome Room. A note on going upstairs at Monticello: these stairs are tiny!

On the tour, you learn about Thomas Jefferson (of course), Sally Hemings, and his daughter, Martha Jefferson Randolph, as well as the free and enslaved people who lived and worked in the house.

George Washington’s Mount Vernon

Going just over another 2-hour drive, you’ll land at George Washington ‘s Mount Vernon. This estate is filled with things to do, such as touring his 18th-century home, strolling in the gardens, visiting museum galleries, and more. Aside from visiting the house, taking a tour, and going to the museum, I didn’t get to do too much here, but if you have the time, you can spend an entire day here.

They were refurbishing his home when I was there, but I was still able to go inside and view the first and second floors of George Washington’s beautiful Mount Vernon. The museum exhibit covers the life of George Washington, starting with his first job as a surveyor.

Then, it moves on to his leadership during the French and Indian War and his growing businesses at Mount Vernon. Of course, it also covers his time in the Revolutionary War and the founding of our nation. A unique Revolutionary War 4D Theater highlights General Washington’s important military victories at Boston, Trenton, and Yorktown.

National Treasure Tour

When I got to Mount Vernon, it was later in the day, so the soonest tour available was the National Treasure Tour. Not that I’m not a fan of the National Treasure films ; I just didn’t expect there to be a tour solely dedicated to it! The second film, National Treasure: Book of Secrets ,  was filmed on location at Mount Vernon.

This tour takes you behind-the-scenes to film locations and explains how they were used during Washington’s time. I even got to visit Mount Vernon’s cellar since it was featured in the film! It’s where the Lawrence Washington cornerstone is!

Hamilton the Musical Tour

I may have missed this tour when I went last year, or they might not have had it back then, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t add it here. The Hamilton the Musical Tour at Mount Vernon explores Washington’s role in the hit Broadway show. It looks at his views on many of the themes the Alexander Hamilton musical addresses.

While there is no record of Alexander Hamilton visiting Mount Vernon, you can find many things mentioned in Hamilton at George Washington’s Mount Vernon.

“What ideas was Lafayette fighting for with the Guns & Ships the French brought? Where are the vines? Where are the fig trees? Get the answers to these questions and more on this hour-long tour.”

Day 6: Library of Congress

A 30-minute drive into Washington, DC, you’ll be at the gorgeous Library of Congress! I’m ashamed to say that I had NO idea this building was so beautiful before my trip. I was bowled over when I visited!

The Library of Congress is a research library that officially serves the United States Congress and is the national library of the US. It is also the oldest federal cultural institution in the United States and one of the largest libraries in the world .

The Library of Congress’s origins start shortly after the beginnings of the United States. James Madison is credited with the idea of creating a congressional library in 1783. President John Adams formally established it in April 1800. Then, President Thomas Jefferson created the structure of the library, signing a bill that allowed the President to appoint the Librarian of Congress and establishing a Joint Committee on the Library to regulate and oversee it.

Thomas Jefferson’s Library

However, in 1814, the British army burned Washington and destroyed the Library of Congress and its collection of 3,000 volumes. Thomas Jefferson, the avid reader he was, offered to sell his personal library to replace the collection. I heard he also needed the money!

Congress accepted and spent $23,950 to purchase 6,487 books he had accumulated over 50 years. They included works in several languages and subjects such as philosophy, history, law, religion, architecture, travel, natural sciences, mathematics, studies of classical Greece and Rome, modern inventions, hot air balloons, music, submarines, fossils, agriculture, and meteorology.

His collection was then organized into a scheme based on Francis Bacon’s organization of knowledge , grouping the books into categories such as Memory, Reason, and Imagination and further into 44 more subdivisions. Unfortunately, again, the Library of Congress was burned in 1851, destroying two-thirds of the Jefferson collection, with only 2,000 books remaining.

As of 2008, the Library of Congress librarians had found replacements for all but 300 of Jefferson’s original collection. When visiting the Library of Congress, you can see which books are originals or replacements and which are still missing.

Hamilton at the Library of Congress

The library also has a collection of Alexander Hamilton papers and artifacts, totaling 12,000 items. It previously displayed a selection of significant letters penned by Hamilton throughout different stages of his life.

Among those items were writings from a 12-year-old Hamilton, a Marquis de Lafayette communication about the final battle in the Revolutionary War, a work about the formation of the U.S. Constitution, and a July 4, 1804 goodbye letter to his wife shortly before the Burr duel. Hopefully, they’ll bring this back so we can see, as mentioned in the Broadway Alexander Hamilton musical, how he wrote like he was running out of time!

Revolutionary Statues and Memorials

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the memorials and statues you can visit in Washington, DC. Of course, there is the Washington Monument, which Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton helped establish. The Jefferson Monument looks over the Potomac River and is beautiful when lit up at night. Then there is a statue of the man himself, Alexander Hamilton, located at the U.S. Treasury Building. There’s another statue of him in the Capitol building as well.

Final Thoughts on a Hamilton the Musical Inspired Trip

You can find even more Alexander Hamilton musical mentions around Washington, DC. You can see parts of his life and legacy in the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum, the National Museum of American History, the National Archives Museum, the Society of the Cincinnati, the National Gallery of Art, the Treasury Building, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and much more. I highly recommend visiting Washington, DC, if you haven’t had the pleasure yet!

Hamilton, An Interview

Sabrina Sloan (Angelica Schuyler) and Nicholas Christopher (Aaron Burr), cast members of Hamilton musical U.S. tour, explore their roles in bringing history to life.

Below is a transcript of only part of their interview with Dr. Joe Stoltz. You can hear the full interview in an episode of Conversations at the Washington Library .

You just got finished touring George Washington’s estate, Mount Vernon. First reactions?

Christopher: It's huge. It's really beautiful and it's emotional because it grounds these mythical creatures in a certain way and really humanizes him. Going to see his tomb. Going to see where the slaves were working. Going to see his party room that he loved so much and the fact that he decorated so much of the house. You really get to know the inside of this man, his inner workings. 

Sloan:  Gorgeous! It was stunning. I really enjoyed hearing that he wanted it to be a symbol of America by bringing plants and trees from all over making his estate representative of the country that he loved so much. You can see his dedication to his countrymen, even in the landscape and the beauty of his home. 

You are both formally trained actors, but you're also now history teachers. How did you get into acting and how did your careers transpire to get you here as part of the cast of Hamilton?

Sloan:  I've been acting since I was young. I studied at Northwestern and moved to New York to pursue acting. I've been doing mostly Broadway shows. I probably didn't have the greatest interest in history in my early years. I certainly have an appreciation and a little bit more of an obsession with it now. I think as you grow up and you realize how much the past matters to the present and the future.

Lin (Manuel-Miranda) did a lot of research. Everybody did so much research going into this show that they give you so much just in your rehearsal process to really live and breath these people.

I actually live in New York right outside of the grave site for Hamilton. The Trinity Church is right outside my window. I've looked at it a million times. When I booked the show, I took my son and we walked around and there never was a grave marker for Angelica before. But now there is. There is a whole tour that goes through there. Now, there's a flux of people in there that wasn't there before going to see Hamilton's grave, going to see Eliza and Phillip. It's cool to be part of that movement.

Christopher:  I became an actor because my dad's an actor in Bermuda, which is where I'm originally from. My brother's an opera singer. My sister was the head of her gospel choir at Boston College. So it's just kind of in our bones.

I went to the Boston Conservatory for one year then I transferred to Juilliard for one year and then I started working with Lin and Tommy on a show called “In the Heights.” A couple months later, as they were writing Hamilton, I'd get different calls: "Hey, we have another song. Would you mind coming in and working with us on this?" And then it went to the public. And then it went to Broadway. During that time, I had been doing other shows. When they were in Tony season I covered George Washington and later came back to play Aaron Burr here on the road.

What is it like to portray a historical figure?

Christopher:  The good thing about these people is that there's so much written about them; whether it's their own writing or writings about them. So there are a lot of different tools you can use, but there are no voice recordings. There's no video footage of these people. So we're not tied down to anything, which is what the show is about. It is about the essence you bring to it rather than trying to look or sound or act in a certain way.

Sloan:  What's really cool about the show, and what I think really draws people to it, is not only are we telling a story about historical figures but they are people. There is a humanity in the show that is very accessible and real. At the end of the day, I'm a sister, which I can relate to. I'm a wife and a mother. I am a daughter. I am a thinker. At the same time, the words we're saying are very contemporary and modern. We're rapping. We're telling the story in a different way than these people lived it. It's a very cool and unique combination of trying to emulate someone who really lived and bringing yourself into it and making it new.

What is it like to be the defining touchstone for an entire generation of Americans now growing up thinking about early American history?

Christopher:  It gets me emotional. For me, being a person of color in this country often feels like you are borrowing and you feel like a guest in your own home. Being able to portray these people, allows us to take ownership of our history. To see little boys and girls of color coming to the show dressed as Alexander Hamilton is exciting. They're not thinking about him as a white man. They are thinking about the essence of the person, what they did for our history. So that's what's exciting.

Sloan:  It's exciting to think that this is just the beginning. When I saw the show on Broadway, I told Lin I don't know how you top this. Whether it's Lin or it’s somebody else, this does set a precedent and make a demand for more of this. I'm so excited every time I see the girls and the boys. A lot of times it's girls in a Hamilton costume or a King George. I love seeing that. What is the next story that’s going to be told? What else could be learned this way? I'm excited to see what this does.

How Washington, D.C. Is Getting into the Hamilton Spirit

The nation's capital is hosting the Broadway show for a 14-week run this summer.

1. The Jefferson Hotel is organizing " Feud of the Founding Fathers ," a summer-long series of events and promotions that pit Thomas Jefferson against Alexander Hamilton.

There's an itinerary in which guests get to choose a side, talks by in-house historian and Georgetown professor Susan Sullivan Lagon on the differences between Jefferson and Hamilton, and rival cocktails in Quill, which features North America's only fully glass bar.

2. Have a Hamilton -themed cocktail or dessert for $10 at Kennedy Center's Roof Terrace Restaurant .

The "Ten Dollar Menu," whose price references the currency graced by the first Secretary of the Treasury, includes both drinks and dessert. According to Eater , there's a "Raise a Glass to Freedom" beer cocktail made Port City porter, Captain Morgan spiced rum, lime, and brown sugar syrup along with a chocolate crunch choux puff with vanilla ice cream, which Hamilton is said to have enjoyed when he dined at Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello.

3. Go to Mount Vernon for a Hamilton sing-along and an interactive exhibit where you can act out scenes from George Washington's battles.

Hamiltunes will take place from noon to 2 p.m. on May 26 at Washington's former home; local musicians and singers from the Mount Vernon Community Children's Theatre plan to lead gusts on the 12-acre field with Washington's Mansion in the background. The museum is also featuring " Be Washington: It's Your Turn to Lead ," an interactive experience included with admission that's led by Chris Jackson, the actor who played Washington in the Broadway hit.

4. Check out Lin-Manuel Miranda's costume from the show at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

The museum added the costume and a mid-19th century portrait of Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton by Daniel Huntington to its collection last year.

5. Take a Hamilton walking tour of the nation's capital that concludes with an appropriate toast to the Founding Father.

Washington Walk's " Hamilton's D.C. " two-hour tour includes a series of sites associated with the musical and concludes at the Hamilton restaurant and bar, where tour participants can order a Hamilton Mule and "raise a glass to freedom."

6. See the guns used in Hamilton's famous duel with Aaron Burr .

The pistols used in the 1804 Hamilton-Burr duel are owned by JPMorgan Chase & Co., but from May 25 through June 24 they will be on view at the National Postal Museum " Alexander Hamilton: Soldier, Secretary, Icon ."

7. Visit Chef José Andrés's soon-to-open America Eats Tavern in Georgetown, which will feature historic American dishes.

In early summer, the James Beard Foundation 2018 Humanitarian of the Year and Town & Country Philanthropy Summit speaker (along with Mr. Hamilton himself, Lin-Manuel Miranda ) is bringing back a restaurant that previously featured recipes including an early-19th century mac and cheese and classic Virginia ham .
