Ardsley Historical Society-Revolutionary War sites in Westchester

May 20 – 10 am to 4 pm

Visit three historic Revolutionary War sites in Westchester, where French troops camped in 1781 near the end 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 and their role in helping us win 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.

Travel 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.
