A recently-donated glass case allows the Firelands Historical Society to display an original letter that Aaron Burr wrote to Alexander Hamilton in 1804 — weeks before their infamous duel. This case inside the Firelands Museum in Norwalk also displays a short letter written by Hamilton, though not to Burr. These letters are now being publicly displayed for the first time. The full story is on NorwalkOhioNews.com. Our city. Our news.
