The March to Yorktown Day: Panel Discussion and Exhibit
Join us as we celebrate the French-American Alliance and the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail that commemorates the 700 miles of land and water routes followed by the allied Continental and French armies from Newport, RI to Yorktown, VA in 1781. The march, long recognized as a military master stroke under the command of General George Washington and French General Comte de Rochambeau, led to final victory and an end to the long struggle for American independence.
The Historical Society of the Somerset Hills (THSSH) and the Washington- Rochambeau Revolutionary Route New Jersey (W3R-NJ) will host historians Dr. Robert A. Selig and Dr. Robb Haberman, who will talk about the allied armies as they marched through the Somerset Hills on their way to Yorktown, VA, and the final engagement of the Revolutionary War. First-hand accounts from the journals of Sgt. James Selkirk will put you in the middle of the action!
