Join BCHS on June 27th as we welcome reenactor Stacy Roth for her program, "Over Here, Molly Pitcher"!

“Over Here, Molly Pitcher: Stories of a Woman of the Army in the American Revolution” is an interpretive storytelling presentation about Mary Hays McCauley, the plucky woman who assisted her husband and his artillery crew during the Battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778. Her tales are related from the perspective of 1822, the year she receives a pension for her service from the State of Pennsylvania. Molly, dressed in her Revolutionary War attire and armed with the material remnants of her service, touches upon topics that include the aftermath of the war for the veterans of the Revolution, as well as Molly's adventures from the time of her husband’s enlistment to the Battle of Monmouth, what life was like as a “woman of the army,” and her exciting day of battle.

Tickets for this event are $10 per person. All ages are welcome to this program. To guarantee a spot, email us at [email protected] to RSVP

Program is to be held in the Corson Poley Center at the Burlington County Historical Society.
