Sunday,
November 14th, 12:00PM-3:00PM,
The 245th Anniversary of the Battle of Fort Washington at Fort Tryon Park, on the great lawn north of 190th and Washington Avenue. This year marks the 245th anniversary of the Battle of Fort Washington, a key event during the Revolutionary War. Be transported back in time and celebrate your local history. Come to watch a blacksmith demonstration, listen to live 18th-century music, make arts and crafts, and play games from the revolutionary period. Tour the battle scene with heroine Margaret Corbin. Prizes will be offered for the most authentic costumes!
Pack a picnic and spend the afternoon learning about some local uptown history. The A train entrance at 190th Street is closed for repairs so get out at the 184th Street and Fort Washington Avenue exit and walk north. More details for this event can be found on the Fort Tryon Trust page:
