Back Porch History 2025: “Kingsbridge at the Dawn of the Revolution” with Nick Dembowski

at Virtual

6:00 p.m.7:00 p.m.
1775 was 250 years ago. At that time the people of Kingsbridge did not know that the most dramatic and violent 8 years in the history of the area were about to begin. The Revolutionary War would transform the neighborhood from a lush and fertile farming community into a muddy battle-scarred military camp with forts on every hilltop. For the community that was here, 1775 was the year that everything changed. The men of the area formed a militia for defense and the Continental Congress ordered the area fortified. But why here? Why did George Washington consider it a "pass of the utmost importance?" And how did local people feel about the ideas and events that were reshaping America and their lives?
