The tranquil graveyard at Trinity Church is tucked into an otherwise bustling commercial corner of Lower Manhattan. Inside its gates, weatherworn headstones — some dating from the 1680s — stand in the shadows of skyscrapers.

Alexander Hamilton, a founding father and the first secretary of the Treasury, has long been one of the cemetery’s most famous residents. But in the 212 years since a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr claimed his life, he may never have had the volume of visitors he’s had in the last six months.

“Hamilton is having a moment,” said Anne Petrimoulx, the archivist of Trinity Church. While giving tours, she said, “I used to say, ‘You might recognize him from the ten-dollar bill.’ Now I say, ‘You might know him from the musical.’”

Since “Hamilton” opened on Broadway in August, fans have been making pilgrimages to the site. On Instagram and Twitter, they post the proof. “Yes, I am such a musical nerd I took a photo of Alexander Hamilton’s grave @ Trinity Church,” tweeted Jaclyn Mika of Toronto, a self-described “Hamilton” fangirl.
