The Hudson River played a pivotal role in the Revolutionary War. Through 18th century music and songs, this program brings that history of spies, forts, and battles along the river to life; including the story of General Rochambeau and his French troops uniting with Washington's forces to form the ‘grand march’ that led to Yorktown … and victory!
