Tea w/ Alexander Hamilton - Sunday

[colmoultrie]

As part of Morristown, NJ's "Revolution Weekend," I'll be playing Alexander Hamilton at a "Revolutionary Tea Party" at the Schuyler-Hamilton House, where Hamilton met his future wife Elizabeth - 12:30 - 2:30pm. The DAR owns and runs the house in Morristown. There's also a Revolutionary War encampment at Jockey Hollow and Revolutionary activities at the Morris Museum. I'll post pics after tomorrow.

I posted photos in the photo section. The green suit was my Christmas present from my mother-in-law, and the friend who sewed it teaches historic costuming at Fashion Institute of Technology and used to be a wardrobe person on Broadway, so the suit is both nice and correct to the 18th century (although it is machine sewn).

The tea went very well - nice for the 250th anniversary of the house and the anniversary of Lexington & Concord.

Enjoyed the pictures. Did you enjoy protraying one of the most brilliant minds of that era? To bad, and sad, that it seems he's remembered more for losing a duel than for the things he did. A staunch Federalist and American.

Yes, talked some people's ears off about the financial system, but too many wanted to hear about the Reynolds affair with Betsy present...
