George Washington and the Middlebrook Winter Encampment of 1778-1779

Join us for another installment of Rev War Revelry this Sunday, July 24, 2022 at 7 p.m. ET over on our Facebook page! Emerging Revolutionary War will be joined by Paul Soltis, historian with the New Jersey State Park Service at the Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage State Historic Sites. The Wallace House served as George Washington’s headquarters during the winter at Middlebrook, New Jersey in 1778-1779. While most Americans have heard of Valley Forge, the winter cantonment at Middlebrook is often overlooked. We’ll discuss the important historic events that occurred there and what visitors to the area can see today.
