Description

This week on Out of Office: A Travel Podcast, Ryan and Kiernan take listeners on a walking tour of New York City sites linked to Alexander Hamilton. (Okay, okay: one is in New Jersey.) There’s a massive amount of history and a minimal amount of singing—but, it’s Hamilton, so of course there’s got to be some singing.  Tune in to hear where Peggy is buried, why George Washington dressed like a UPS man, and how Alexander Hamilton died in a bunch of different places. Things we talked about in today’s podcast: Stop 1: Dueling Grounds in Weehawken NJ (just a LITTLE outside NYC) https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/weehawken-dueling-grounds  Stop 2: Alexander Hamilton Custom House in Bowling Green https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Hamilton_U.S._Custom_House  Stop 3: Fraunces Tavern on Pearl Street https://www.frauncestavernmuseum.org/ Stop 4: Federal Hall https://www.nps.gov/feha/index.htm  Stop 5: Hamilton’s Grave https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/06/fashion/hamilton-fans-grave-broadway.html  Stop 6: 57 Maiden Lane https://allthingshamilton.com/index.php/aph-home/72-aph-new-york-city/167-57-maiden-lane Stop 7: 82 Jane Street https://www.6sqft.com/rent-in-the-greenwich-village-building-where-alexander-hamilton-purportedly-spent-his-final-day/ Stop 8: Hamilton Statue in Central Park https://www.nycgovparks.org/about/history/alexander-hamilton-in-nyc-parks  Stop 9: Hamilton Grange https://www.nps.gov/hagr/index.htm Stop 10: Burr’s Room https://www.morrisjumel.org/ Stop 11: Richard Rodger’s Theatre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Rodgers_Theatre Musical Dreams: Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Wilhelm_von_Steuben Musical Dreams: Alexander von Humboldt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_von_Humboldt The Hamilton Exhibition in Chicago https://hamiltonexhibition.com Hamilton Tour at Philadelphia’s Museum of the American Revolution https://www.amrevmuseum.org/visit/guided-tours

Out of Office is a travel podcast hosted by us, Ryan Davis and Kiernan Schmitt. From early childhood, we were each infected with a serious case of wanderlust (among other things.) We define travel broadly, from local day trips to high-flyin’ overseas adventures. Every episode, we dig into one topic—ranging from the serious to the silly, the practical to the outlandish—and give advice on how to get out there and explore the world.
