LOST INWOOD
—The American Revolution in Inwood, Part 2–
-TUESDAY MARCH 4th, 7:30PM at THE INWOOD FARM –
Greetings! A few months ago at LOST INWOOD we talked about the local events leading up to the battle of Fort Washington in 1776. But the war didn’t end until 1783, seven years later. What happened in Inwood during the intervening years?
As it turns out, a LOT. On Tuesday March 4th 7:30 at INWOOD FARM, we’ll reveal the plans used by US troops to intimidate occupying British forces. We’ll hear about the lawless “Neutral Ground” in Westchester and the Bronx, where anything could happen and often did. Or about the quasi-military loyalist marauders known as Refugees, who wreaked havoc in the area. We’ll learn what happened to the Dyckman family and the destruction of their farm and home after they were forced to leave Inwood, and how the Dyckman sons became famous freedom fighters. Did we mention George Washington’s reconnaissance of Inwood in 1781, or the visit to by King George’s “spare” son (who later became king)? Amazing stuff.
Please join us. Tuesday March 4th 7:30pm at THE INWOOD FARM. It’s free to the public, but reservations are highly recommended.
