By Indiana Nash, The Daily Gazette - June 1, 2018

Alexander Hamilton was all the rage well before the musical was ever thought of. Beside a portrait of Andrew Hamilton Calhoun, on exhibit at the Arkell Museum in Canajoharie, is the text “His parents honored the new nation by giving their son the middle name Hamilton, after the American statesman and founding father Alexander Hamilton.”

The mission of the Arkell Museum at Canajoharie and the Canajoharie Library is to promote and celebrate the understanding and enjoyment of the arts and humanities in Canajoharie, the Mohawk Valley, and beyond.
