Mrs. Bennett Follows the Army

Learn about life as a woman who followed Washington’s Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. Wives, daughters, mothers, and single women followed their men on long marches and through cold and hungry conditions. Many had children with them. They worked as laundresses, cooks, and nurses.
Spend an hour with Mrs. Bennett and hear about life in camp, on the march, and during skirmishes and battles.
