Lunch & Learn: Loyalists During the Revolution

During the Revolution your neighbor may have been a Loyalist! Jack Washington will present some of these local Loyalists and their fate at the hands of their pro-Revolutionary neighbors.

He will also provide enlightenment on the attempts by General Howe during the occupation of Philadelphia in 1777-78 to recruit some of these disaffected persons into his military establishment.

Jack Washington is a long time Revolutionary War reenactor, volunteer and board member at Graeme Park, and Chair of the Cheltenham Township Historical Commission, which operates the 1682 Richard Wall House.

A continental breakfast will be served before the talk and a hot and cold lunch buffet will follow. Tours of the historic Keith House will also be available. The cost is $20/person and preregistration is requested.
