“Hamilton and the
Nation’s Money” with
Gary Hylander
Thursday, Nov. 10, 3-4 pm
Hamilton remains the most
neglected of the Founding Fathers,
in part, because Jefferson
and Adams, his most bitter rivals,
outlived him by decades and did
everything they could to bury
his reputation. Today however,
we remember Hamilton as the
nation’s first Secretary of the
Treasury who brilliantly forged
the financial and economic institutions
that turned America
Located on the Mass Pike I-90 Service Plazas (Natick Eastbound and Westborough Westbound)
into today’s modern capitalistic
superpower. Join us for this fascinating
talk with historian Gary
Hylander as he brings the person
and politician, Hamilton to life.
