What a day!

Constance Kehoe, President of Revolutionary Westchester 250 and Bill Wienecke, with Living History Education Foundation, greeted visitors at Revolution on the Hudson! A Living History Experience held on October 22 at Pierson Park in Tarrytown, NY. The history of Tarrytown in the Revolutionary War came alive with hands-on experiences for kids and adults including drilling with the Continental Army and trying out colonial games. Stage performances included historical interpreters depicting the three patriot captors of British spy Major John André, Deborah Sampson, a Continental Army soldier who disguised herself as a man, and Benedict Arnold. Nearly 1,000 visitors joined the fun, immersive experience.

Many thanks to all the Village of Tarrytown staff, elected officials, reenactors, Rotary members, historical societies and residents who joined the day!
