From August to November 1776, the future of the United States hung in the balance. While the Declaration of Independence marked the nation’s birth, it was the pivotal battles and events across New York City and Westchester County that ensured its survival. Overshadowed by Trenton, Valley Forge, Saratoga, and Yorktown, these local engagements made those later victories possible. Discover the history and archaeology of this critical period, and uncover the hidden Revolutionary landscapes beneath today’s roads, parks, beaches, golf courses, and campuses.

The library’s policy on children states “children in fifth grade and under shall be accompanied in the building by a responsible adult who must remain with the children at all times.” In other words, children may not be left in the Youth Services area unattended while you attend this program. Thank you for your cooperation.
