Back Porch History: 1776 – A Defining Moment in the Story of Northern Manhattan with Don Rice
Join us for a free, in-person lecture about the American Revolution and Northern Manhattan history at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum! Nearly 250 years ago, in November 1776, Dyckman was consumed by warfare. Thousands of British and Hessian soldiers attacked the hillsides and overwhelmed the American defenses there. For the next seven years, occupying forces sucked the area dry, leaving behind a countryside devoid of natural resources and pockmarked with wrecked farmsteads and roads. It was a defining moment in Inwood’s past. Using primary sources and rare images, we’ll relive the events that led up to the battle of Fort Washington in 1776.
Come learn about the Dyckman family’s role in trying to protect the neighborhood and their home, and discover if anything still remains from those tumultuous times.
RSVP Required – Register on Eventbrite!
