Boston is a destination city for so many who want to celebrate our country's history. This year, on our nation's birthday, some new history is being unveiled.
Founding Father Alexander Hamilton's own words are on display in Boston in a letter to the Marquis de Lafayette from July of 1780.
"The letter was a letter of warning," said Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin. "There were British troops moving up into Rhode Island from New York, with the objective of interfering with the French troops that had just landed to help us."
At the Commonwealth Museum in Dorchester, you can see this piece of Revolutionary War history just in time for the Fourth of July.
"Hamilton was acting sort of in Washington's absence," said Michael Comeau, executive director of the Massachusetts Archives at the Commonwealth Museum.
