Fifteen rare or wonderful items related to Alexander Hamilton from the Library's collection are on display in the Peluso Family Exhibition Gallery September 14-27, 2015. The Library was already thirty-five years old and shared a building with the federal government when George Washington tapped Hamilton to be Secretary of the Treasury in 1789. Our holdings include eighteenth-century letters by and about Hamilton, pamphlets and government documents from his time in office, and genre-spanning books about his life and legacy. 

The Assunta, Ignazio, Ada and Romano Peluso Exhibition Gallery is open to the public whenever the Library is open.
