Have you ever heard of The Society of the Cincinnati? If not, you aren’t alone!
Join us on Tuesday, September 16th for an engaging Tea Talk as we delve into the fascinating legacy of the oldest patriotic organization in the United States. Founded in 1783, the Society was created by officers of the Continental Army who served together in the American Revolution. George Washington became the Society’s first president general, leading his officers from war to peace.
Our Tea Talk will be led by Paul Newman, Museum Collections and Operations Manager for The American Revolution Institute of The Society of the Cincinnati in Washington, DC. Discover the history, values and lasting impact of this remarkable institution and George Washington’s role in its founding.
To obtain an advanced copy of the book, The Society of the Cincinnati, visit the Mary Washington House Museum Store during regular museum hours.
Weather permitting, we will hold the Tea Talk on the back porch overlooking the beautiful gardens at the Mary Washington House.
