Duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton
Again this year, history can be found in more than just antiques; history will come to life through a reenactment of the 1804 duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Burr, first term Vice President under Thomas Jefferson, shot Hamilton, United States Secretary of the Treasury, in a duel fueled by years of animosity between the political rivals and personal enemies.
While a duel fought in New Jersey between two national leaders may seem to have little connection to Clinton, Tennessee, festivalgoers will learn it’s significance to
Clinton’s history as they watch the duel play out and learn how the town of Burrville became today’s Clinton.
The reenactment will take place on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. and will be held on the entertainment stage in Gazebo Park located adjacent to Market Street
