If ever you wanted to read the Historic Furnishings Report or the Historic Structure Report for the Hamilton Grange National Monument, please, feel free to download the linked giant PDFs. I’m warning you that they are scans of copies that were produced over thirty years ago, so.

But there is some interesting info. Did you know Hamilton spent $103 on a mirror? I mean that is a LOT of money in 1800. Make what you will of that. Perhaps explains a bit of his incredibly ironic debt problems.

You may also enjoy this inventory of a collection that was owned by a woman who parceled it out for sale back to the Grange (I think) in the 1920s. I think the price for that lock of hair may have been $250. It sold at auction earlier this year for $37,500.
