About the Event
Throughout the Revolutionary War one of the biggest challenges faced by Washington was attempting to keep his army clothed and uniformed. Cut off from British manufacturing, the Continental Army relied on a variety of sources, resulting in uniforms of nearly every color and style. Shaw will explore the variety of uniforms used in the Revolution, as well as the research and techniques used in recreating them.
Revolutionary Stories is open to the public, and presentations will be uploaded to our YouTube channel. Check out Loudoun Museum’s social media, website, and sign up for our newsletter to find out about program announcements, updates, and more. The program series is made possible in part by a grant from Virginia Humanities.
Admission is free, RSVPs are welcome, but not required.
