Nutrition & Bone Health As We Age: Free HSS Webinar!

As part of our 250th anniversary commemoration of the United States, the Bayside Historical Society presents historian Char Weigel in a compelling live talk exploring the complex and controversial life of Benedict Arnold’s wife, Peggy Shippen.
Margaret Arnold, perhaps better known by her childhood name Peggy Shippen, has been portrayed through history as either a total innocent or the scheming mastermind behind Benedict Arnold’s treason. Based entirely on primary sources, Char Weigel brings to life this complex and nuanced woman. The true story of her involvement is more fascinating than the fiction as is the path that her life took after the discovery of her husband’s plot and his defection. Weigel also discusses the spies, double agents and secret correspondence involved in Arnold’s communications with the British.
About the Performer: Char Weigel is a historian who frequently publishes and presents new research on Benedict Arnold’s treason and Revolutionary War history in the lower Hudson Valley. She is Vice President of Special Projects for Revolutionary Westchester 250 and on the board of the Friends of the Odell Rochambeau Museum.
Admission is $10.00 for BHS members and $15.00 for non-members.
