Event
Celebrate Women’s History Month With The General’s Lady at Washington’s Headquarters
Sunday, March 23, 2025 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
In honor of Women's History Month, Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site will hold its annual program, The General's Lady, Sunday, March 23rd at 2:00 PM. Inspired by Martha Washington, this event pays tribute to both the impact of noteworthy historical women and to contemporary women making a difference in the field of history and preservation in the Hudson Valley. Join historian and author Carole Owens for a one-hour program, "Martha Washington's Contemporaries: Women of the Eighteenth Century". Owens will reveal what life was like for American women during the period leading into and during the Revolutionary War by telling the stories of a few everyday women whose lives were changed by the events of history. Like Martha Washington, they balanced caring for their families, dealing with the hardships of war, and embodying the ideals that the burgeoning nation was being founded on. Their stories might not be as well known as Martha's, but their contributions to the founding of our great nation are just as remarkable. For more information, call 845-562-1195.
