Interact with the women of revolutionary Westchester, from those doing ordinary tasks like spinning, weaving and cooking, to camp followers caring for the troops with herbal medicines, to women who joined the military in disguise. In the outdoor tent, experience the performances of Peggy Shippen who was married to traitor Benedict Arnold, wealthy loyalist Mary Philipse, an enslaved and then manumitted woman named Liss, and Phoebe Ward who was a mother caught between two armies. History at Play’s award-winning performance, A Revolution of her Own! explores the life of Continental soldier Deborah Sampson. Enjoy live period music, dancing, 18th century hands-on crafting and demonstrations, period games, and more as you mingle and converse with the costumed performers.
