"This annual event offers a unique chance for visitors to immerse themselves in the narratives and experiences of those who lived through the American Revolution," Rachel Walman, Green-Wood's director of education, said in a statement. "By examining the varied viewpoints of colonists, the British, the Dutch, Indigenous people, and enslaved people from that period, we aim to provide a richer comprehension of our collective history and its lasting influence."
Visitors immersed themselves in hands-on activities highlighting the sacrifices and achievements of those who fought for American independence. Devout historians led experiential learning sessions, showing guests Dutch Colonial toys, games and objects often used and associated with the 18th century.
