Let’s spill the tea on Rebels and Redcoats, victors and vanquished, on this uptown walk about Revolutionary War stories. Instead of guns and cannons, we’ll talk about the people connected to the Battle of Fort Washington. Along the way, we’ll visit three parks to see how the terrain itself was a character in the devastating action of 1776. (Spoiler alert: we lost the battle but won the war.)
Distance: please be ready to walk 2 miles. Route includes some hills and stairs.
Note: The topic of war battles and gossip, while kept mild, is best suited for adults.
Walk ends in beautiful Ft Tryon Park, close to public transportation (A train, M4 bus), restrooms, and a restaurant.
Huzzah!
