Bill 110 s 1969, also known as the Alexander Hamilton Boyhood Home Study Act of 2007, was introduced in the 110th Congress by Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee. The purpose of this bill was to authorize a study to determine the feasibility of designating the boyhood home of Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, as a National Historic Site.

The study would assess the historical significance of Hamilton's boyhood home, located in Charlestown, the island of Nevis in the Caribbean, and evaluate the potential benefits of designating it as a National Historic Site.

The findings of the study would be submitted to Congress within two years of the bill's enactment. Overall, the Alexander Hamilton Boyhood Home Study Act of 2007 aimed to recognize and preserve the historical significance of Alexander Hamilton's early life and provide recommendations for the potential establishment of a National Historic Site at his boyhood home.
