Remembering September 1781

Alliance For Liberty: Military Encampment

'In September 1781, General Washington and French general Rochambeau traveled to Mount Vernon and created a bold strategy which led to the siege of British forces at Yorktown.  In commemoration of the 230th anniversary of this historic visit, Mount Vernon will come alive with hundreds of Revolutionary War re‐enactors, including “General Washington” and “General Rochambeau.” Stroll the camp, talk with the soldiers, and watch military demonstrations throughout the day.'
