New York City During the American Revolution

Boston, Philadelphia, Yorktown may be the places that usually star in the American Revolution, but New York City has a story to tell as well! NYC was burned, abandoned, repopulated, and put under martial law; it became home to pirates, runaway slaves, and smugglers; its churches were turned into hospitals, its warehouses into jails, and its cemeteries into pleasure gardens. The British occupied NYC for seven years, longer than any other part of what would soon become the United States. 

Join Patty Hamrick for a dynamic discussion about archaeology and history of New York City in the American Revolution.
