Join us on Sunday, March 8, 2026, from 2-4PM (ET) for an online presentation with Victoria Johnson, historian and author of the award-winning book American Eden. Johnson will bring to life the remarkable story of Dr. David Hosack, physician to Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr and founder of the young nation’s first public botanical garden. This talk explores how Hosack’s visionary garden, once twenty acres of Manhattan farmland, helped shape American medicine, science, and the urban landscape we know today.
