In 1755, Alexander Hamilton was born and then raised on the tiny island of Nevis, a 35.9-square-mile enclave in the West Indies. Today, Nevis has come a long way with a booming tourism industry with nearly a dozen resorts, all the while maintaining its idyllic coastline views. To honor the Founding Fathers of the hour, a visit to Charlestown’s Alexander Hamilton House takes visitors through the life and famed duel death of Hamilton with artifacts, notes, and displays. The highlight here is the chance to step foot inside the house where Hamilton was born.
