The Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum, central New Jersey's first dedicated Black history museum, is excited to announce a series of special events in honor of Black History Month this February.

Educator and historical reenactor Leslie Bramlett will portray Hannah Archer Till, George Washington's personal cook during the Revolutionary War, in an original one-woman show. The daughter of an enslaved African American woman and an Oneida Indian man, Hannah Till was born into slavery in 1721. In 1777, she was leased to General George Washington as his cook and servant. She and her husband purchased their freedom the next year but continued to work for Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette until the end of the war. She was present at every battle Washington fought during the Revolution. Tickets are available for $5/person and can be purchased at: https://www.ssaamuseum.org/hannah-till
