American Revolution (Reprise)

▶️ 09/16/24

On the September 2024 episode of Crossroads of Rockland History we turned our attention to two notable September events relating to the American Revolution.

First, September 2024 marks the 244th anniversary of the capture, imprisonment and trial of British Major John André for conspiring with General Benedict Arnold.

And it’s the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette’s triumphant farewell visit to America, which included a stop in Rockland County. 

Crossroads of Rockland History, a program of the Historical Society of Rockland County, airs on the third Monday of each month at 9:30 am, right after the morning show on WRCR radio 1700 AM and www.WRCR.com. Join host Clare Sheridan as we explore, celebrate, and learn about our local history, with different topics and guest speakers every month. Our recorded broadcasts are also available for streaming on all major podcasts platforms.
