🫖 On October 27, discover how women-led “tea parties” in the Hudson Valley became acts of resistance during the American Revolution.

Join independent researcher and educator William Matthews for Women of the American Revolution: Tea Parties and Teatown, a talk exploring the area’s revolutionary history.

Women confronted merchants, seized tea, and demanded what they considered fair prices. Learn how these local protests turned household authority into political action, and how smuggling networks that carried illicit “Dutch tea” also supplied weapons and gunpowder to the American war effort.
