+ azdr0710 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/burr-slays-hamilton-in-duel https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/hamilton-burr-duel.htm the actual site of the duel is now covered by the urban development of Weehawken, NJ, directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan.....shoreline reconfiguration and railroad construction obliterated the site by the late 1800s........a new memorial statue near the site, showing Hamilton honorably aiming slightly away from Burr while Burr aims for Hamilton's gut, is on Harbor Blvd., north of 19th St., next to the river.....the Weehawken Dueling Grounds park and statue up on top of the cliffs on Hamilton Ave off John F Kennedy Blvd is not the actual site, but overlooks the approximate area of the grounds below.......
