Celebrate Women’s History Month and meet some of the women of 1776: Baroness von Riedesal, wife of a Hessian General and chronicler of life in the military camps; Prudence Wright, minute woman and spy catcher; Nancy Hart, southern frontiers woman who faced the enemy and won. Learn about these women and others, patriot and loyalist, American and foreign, who witnessed the American Revolution first hand and in some cases, changed the course of it.

This program is supported in part by a grant form the Barre Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
