LOST INWOOD 

-250 years ago the Revolution came Uptown –

-TUESDAY NOVEMBER 3rd, 7:30PM at THE INWOOD FARM –

250 years ago THIS MONTH the decisive Battle of Fort Washington was fought in uptown Manhattan. All around today’s Inwood and Washintgon Heights, soldiers fought and died for their passionate cause, the independence of a new American nation.  At the time, they were just trying to stay alive and carry the day. Little did they know what a timeless historical moment it was.

We’ll hear about all of it. From top secret submarines to huge barrier chains stretched across the Hudson. From sabotaged artillery to King George’s leaden head on a spike. And of course the bone-jarring battle, where all hell broke loose, all of Manhattan was at stake, and George Washington was there, beginning to mature into the founding father he would become.

Come learn about the deserters and traitors, the artists, essayists, bagpipers(!) and unsung local heroes of the American Revolution. We’ll hear tales told in the soldiers’ own words, and see the secret messages sent between Washington and his trusted generals as the British put the squeeze on Manhattan Island.

Please join us Tuesday November 3rd 7:30pm at THE INWOOD FARM. It’s free to the public, but reservations are highly recommended.
