Follow the French Tour
May 20, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Visit three historic Revolutionary War sites in Westchester, where French troops camped during the final year of the war, and along the way listen to a free audio tour about the crucial French alliance with General George Washington and the Continental Army. Come learn about the French role in winning our war for independence, see their encampment sites, visit a historic tavern, meet Generals Rochambeau and Washington, tour a pop-up museum, and pet animals from the colonial period.
The free family-friendly event will take place May 20, 10:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can go at your own pace and visit the sites in any order. The three sites are Smith’s Tavern in Armonk, Odell House Rochambeau Headquarters in Hartsdale, and Rochambeau Park/Yorktown Grange Fair Grounds—where there will be a re-creation of a French campsite. Each location will have family activities.
