Jersey Women During the Revolution

with the New Jersey Society, Sons of the American Revolution

Join us to honor America's “Founding Mothers” and explore their lasting impact—visit historic sites, reflect on their legacy, and celebrate the unfinished work for equality.

Discover the untold stories of courage and resilience. This engaging talk reveals how New Jersey’s women—white, Black, enslaved, and free—became pillars of strength, holding families together through chaos, raids, and division. Journey through the “Crossroads of the Revolution,” where women nursed wounded soldiers, managed homes, spied for the Patriots, and even briefly voted. Hear about heroines like Molly Pitcher, Hannah Caldwell, and Quaker Margaret Morris, whose acts of bravery shaped history. Learn how fundraising, intelligence gathering, and everyday resistance sustained the Continental Army and inspired generations.  Don’t miss this powerful tribute to the women who helped forge America’s independence!
