SUMMARY:Our LAST Back Porch History of 2025: “Kingsbridge at the Dawn of the Revolution” with Nick Dembowski
DESCRIPTION:1775 was 250 years ago. At that time the people of Kingsbridge did not know that the most dramatic and violent 8 years in the history of the area were about to begin. The Revolutionary War would transform the neighborhood from a lush and fertile farming community into a muddy battle-scarred military camp with forts on every hilltop. \nFor the community that was here\, 1775 was the year that everything changed. The men of the area formed a militia for defense and the Continental Congress ordered the area fortified. But why here? Why did George Washington consider it a “pass of the utmost importance?” And how did local people feel about the ideas and events that were reshaping America and their lives? \nOn August 27th at 6:00 PM\, join us for Dyckman Farmhouse Museum’s LAST Back Porch History lecture of the season featuring historian Nick Dembowski\, who will take you on a virtual tour of Kingsbridge and northern Manhattan in the years before the war\, leading up to the Declaration of Independence. \nNick Dembowski is a Bronx local historian and Executive Director of the Kingsbridge Historical Society. He was the lead curator of the Kingsbridge Remembers 1775-1783 exhibit at the Kingsbridge Historical Society. He is also the Site Historian of the Van Cortlandt House Museum. \nDate: Wednesday\, August 27th \nTime: 6-7pm \nCost: FREE! \nVirtual option? YES! Register HERE! \nLocation: Livestream via Zoom and in person at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum (on the corner of 204th and Broadway)
