The Walpack Historical Society invites you to learn about life as a woman who followed Washington’s Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. This event will take place on Sunday, June 28th, 2026 from 1 pm - 3 pm at the Walpack Center Church. Wives, daughters, mothers, and single women followed their men on long marches and through cold and hungry conditions. Many had children with them. They worked as laundresses, cooks, and nurses. ![]()
