Croton in the Revolutionary War

To commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, Croton Village Historian Marc Cheshire will recount some of the dramatic events that took place here, the devastation and danger in Westchester during most of the war, the heroic military service of local patriots like Pierre and Philip Van Cortlandt, the brief occupation by Hessian soldiers in 1779 and the march of American troops through the village on their way to Yorktown, Virginia, to defeat the British in the last major battle of the Revolutionary War.

Free events sponsored by Croton Friends of History. Visit their website for details on topics & speakers.

These programs were booked by a nonprofit group in the community, according to the Library's Room Use Policy.
