On this day...

August 12, 1849, Abraham Alfonse Albert de Gallatin dies in Astoria, New York at the age of 88. Gallatin is remembered as the fourth Secretary of the Treasury, finding the funding for the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition, and the National Road. He helped lower the national debt and served in local, state, national and international positions.

During the first meeting of the New York Historical Society following Gallatin’s death, the president of that organization, Luther Bradish says of Gallatin:

“The name of Mr. Gallatin is emphatically a name of history. Few men have lived in any age whose biographies have been so intimately connected with the history of the country. Living in one of the most interesting periods of the world, a period of great events, of the discussion of great principles and the settlement of great interests, almost the whole of his long and active life was passed in public service amidst the events and in those discussions...He has well been called, “Citizen of the World.”

Gallatin is buried at Trinity Church yard in lower town Manhattan next Hannah, his beloved wife of almost 56 years on August 15th. He and Hannah are in the Nicholson family plot. Friendship Hill National Historic Site preserves the home built by Gallatin to share his legacy. Visit www.nps.gov/frhi for more information.

On this day...

May 26th, 1832, the sale agreement between Gallatin and a fellow Swiss immigrant Albin Mellier for Friendship Hill is finalized. Mellier will offer Gallatin $3,500 for the house, all outbuildings and any furniture left in the house as of the end of March. Gallatin reluctantly agrees to this price as he would rather retire and live his remaining days here but agrees to leave at the urging of his family.
