The Hamilton Partnership wrote the legislation and played a leading role in making Hinchliffe the first stadium in a National Historical Park. President Obama signed the law to add Hinchliffe Stadium to the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park in December 2014.
“Hinchliffe Stadium Memories” tells the remarkable story of one of the last surviving Negro League stadiums. Located in Paterson spectators witnessed midget car races, performances by Duke Ellington and Lou Costello, football games, boxing matches, high school graduations, and great baseball.
“The Legendary Larry Doby” explores the groundbreaking life and career of the first black player n the American League. An Eastside High School graduate and Hall of Fame outfielder, Larry Doby strongly believed in using athletics to bring people together.
"Scholars have concluded that Pierre L'Enfant's innovative water power system at the Great Falls -- and many factories built later -- constitute the finest remaining collection of engineering and architectural works representing each stage of America's progress from Hamilton's time to the twentieth century."
- Richard Moe, President, National Trust for Historic Preservation
