Celebrate Black History Month with a special docent-led public tour. From battles to espionage and harrowing tales of escape, this tour emphasizes the fact that African Americans, both enslaved and free, were present, active, and of critical importance in the American Revolution.

Learn about the incredible achievements and contributions of James Armistead Lafayette, Elizabeth Freeman and others during the War, and how their contributions laid the groundwork for the eventual abolition of slavery in the United States.
