War of Two
December 19, 2022 - December 19, 2029
In the summer of 1804, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr squared off, pistols raised, on a bluff along the Hudson River. Why would two of the nation’s most eminent statemen risk not only their lives but the stability of the young country they helped forge? It is suggested that a series of letters between Burr and Hamilton states the duel was fought over an unflattering comment made at a dinner party. But another letter, written by Hamilton the night before the event, provides critical insight into his true motivation. It was addressed to former Speaker of the House Theodore Sedgwick, a trusted friend of both men, and our speaker’s own ancestor.
Join us as John Sedgwick explores the long-standing conflict between Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and Vice President Aaron Burr. He takes a provocative and penetrating investigation into the rivalry between the two, whose infamous duel left the Founding Father dead and turned a sitting Vice President into a fugitive.

A very special Veteran Portrait Presentation program was held at Windsor Park, during which artist Don Ryan presented 30 portraits to veterans from Windsor Park and the surrounding area. This was the much-anticipated finale of an ambitious project began nearly five years ago. Don, who is also a veteran, wanted to use his talents to honor others who had also served in our country's armed forces. After his Hometown Heroes art installation in Chicago in November, 2023, it was time to give each veteran or their family members their portrait. Local veterans, our residents, their families and friends gathered to see all 30 portraits on display, hear a bit about each veteran's service, and enjoy refreshments and stories of their time in the military. Thank you, Don, for allowing Windsor Park to be part of your meaningful project! ... See MoreSee Less
