As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, the Milford Museum American History Series will present a program about Eliza Schuyler Hamilton presented by Trish Chambers at 1 p.m., Saturday, July 11, at Milford Public Library, 11 SE Front St., Milford.

While history holds Alexander Hamilton in the highest esteem, it overlooks the woman who stood by him through the best and worst times of his life. Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton was a strong, intelligent and loyal wife who lived in the shadow of her husband for 24 years. After his death, she went on to make her own mark on American history.

Chambers' energetic presentation style combines humor and realism. She is the author of two nonfiction books: "Civil War Women: Their Roles and Legacies," and "Lighthouses of the New Jersey Lighthouse Challenge.”

Sponsored by the Milford Museum, these monthly programs focus on a variety of topics concerning local, state and national history.
