Attention Hamilton Fans!
The original Hermitage house was built in the 1750s and was the home of Theodosia Prevost. During the American Revolution, the house was visited by George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr. Burr later married Theodosia at the Hermitage.
The Hermitage was transformed into the Gothic Revival house we know today under the ownership of the Rosencrantz family in the 19th century. The Hermitage was home to the Rosencrantz family from 1807 until 1970.
