During the American Revolution, supplying the Continental Army was one of its greatest challenges, and moving provisions from place to place was a constant struggle. The critical role of rough roads, winding rivers, and thousands of draft animals is often overlooked in the story of the Revolution. Discover how hundreds of North Carolinians were called into service to transport essential goods across the state and beyond.
Join Nathan Schultz for a fascinating presentation on this lesser-known side of the Revolution, including his own experiences portraying an ox driver along part of Henry Knox’s historic route through hands-on interpretation of teamster work. If you need assistance or have any questions before registering, contact Matthew McCarthy at [email protected] or 704-605-6282.
This presentation will be held in the museum’s Roundhouse Orientation Room.
