"This Man's A Spy!" is a concert of songs
inspired by the fateful encounter of American General Benedict Arnold and
British Major John André and their treasonous plot to deliver West Point to the
British. Had their plan succeeded, the British may have won the
Revolution. The songs are composed and performed by Carla Lynne Hall and
Jim Keyes. This lively event is appropriate for families, children ages 6+ and
history enthusiasts.

If New York's Henry Defendorff was not a spy during the American Revolution, he was the closest thing to it. In this evening lecture, Author/Historian Phil Weaver will relay Defendorff's wartime adventures and his life as an officer of the Continental army. We think you will find it to be an intriguing story that asks more questions than it answers! PLEASE NOTE: The Thursday Night Speaker Series is Proudly Sponsored by the Fort Montgomery Battle Site Association. Seating is by reservation only. Call (845) 446-2134 to Register.
