War of Two
December 19, 2022 - December 19, 2023

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.

Windsor Park and Wheaton Academy have a connection that spans generations. Some of our residents attended high school at Wheaton Academy and/or sent their children there. Some have grandchildren now. For about a decade there has been a special connection between the sophomore history class and select residents who meet with the students to share their own perspective on world events that the students are studying. COVID created obstacles to meeting students in person, but one committed resident kept the connection going by meeting with Ms. Dunlap's class via Zoom. This Spring semester we were delighted to go eat lunch with some of the students in Mr. Leman's classroom and have lively conversations. Then there was a big Q&A program in the library with all 85 sophomore Global Civilization students. All of the students loved to hear our resident’s best advice and their memories of historical events! We can’t wait to see them again in the fall. ... See MoreSee Less
