Historical Talk: More than Witnesses: Women's Critical Roles on the Frontlines of the American Revolution

Sunday April 26, 2026
2:00 PM

The Trent House Association presents a talk by Professor Lucia McMahon on the critical roles that women played in supporting the military during the American Revolution. This talk will be held in the Trent House Visitor Center on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 2 pm. The Museum is located at 15 Market Street in Trenton, New Jersey, across from the Hughes Justice Complex. Admission is $10 at the door. Free parking is available off William Trent Place behind the museum property.

Women played key roles supporting military operations throughout the American Revolution. Most of us are familiar with the "legendary" figure of Molly Pitcher, inspired by Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley's actions at the Battle of Monmouth. Molly Pitcher is perhaps best understood as a composite character representing the thousands of women who served as camp followers throughout the American Revolution. Camp followers went wherever the army did, providing meals, laundry, nursing, and other essential services, while enduring the often harsh discomforts of encampment life. While most camp followers were motivated by necessity, Martha Washington and other officers' wives also regularly conducted visits to military encampments, helping to boost morale and provide moments of respite and hospitality. And sometimes the battlefront came directly to women, when family homes, including Trent House, were temporarily used for military headquarters and encampments. This presentation highlights how women were often in close proximity to military action throughout the war, particularly in New Jersey, the "crossroads" of the American Revolution.

The Jefferson Paradox: Race, Slavery and the Promise of America, PPL @Nassau Presbyterian Church

Sunday April 26, 2026
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM

Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed, joined by Eddie Glaude, discusses her book "Jefferson on Race," examining his ideals of equality and his contradictory life as a slaveholder.

Drawing from Jefferson’s letters, public writings, plantation records, and accounts from those who lived at Monticello, including his son Madison Hemings, Gordon-Reed invites readers to examine Jefferson’s own words about African Americans, slavery, and Native Americans. The result is a revealing portrait of a founding figure grappling with the realities of a multiracial slave society while professing ideals of liberty and equality.
