People of all backgrounds in Ulster County—Africans, Europeans, and the indigenous Esopus—participated in the American Revolution as patriots and loyalists, for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Explore the historic Daniel Hasbrouck House, built in 1721, while learning how the war shaped Black patriots, Dutch loyalists, and other local revolutionaries.

To personalize this 250-year-old story, visitors will be given 'profile cards' - booklets containing the name and information about a local person from that era: such as a free Black man, a Huguenot descendant, or a working-class woman. Guests will follow their individual's story, and others, through the historic Daniel Hasbrouck House, learning the varied motives for joining one side or another over the course of the war in the pursuit of their own happiness.
