Can you believe it’s been 10 years since Hamilton premiered on Broadway? Whether you’re a history buff, a Broadway fan, or just love a good story, Hamilton has left a lasting impact on both theater and how we see history.

This week, I’m joined by historian, YouTuber, and fellow podcaster Jenn from Talk with History to explore some of the best places to visit if you’re a Hamilton fan. From historical landmarks tied to Alexander Hamilton’s life to Broadway must-sees, we’re covering it all.

In This Episode, We Cover:
