The Andre/Arnold Affair
 
Sunday, September 22, 2013 
2-Part Walking Tour begins in Haverstraw at 9am and continues in Tappan at 11:00am
ADMISSION:  FREE - Donations greatly appreciated
RESERVATIONS REQUIRED
Optional Buffet Brunch after the walk at The ’76 House In Tappan - $30
 
Join us we re-trace the steps of Major John Andre and Benedict Arnold in Rockland County.  Their act of treason was a pivotal point in the Revolutionary war.  Guests will learn the details of this important historic event by visiting the places that were involved.    
 
On September 22, 1780, the two men met in the woods along the Hudson shoreline. Meet us at the Haverstraw Dutchtown park / playground by 9 am for a 15 minute walk each way, along the stroller accessible river path. Appearance by mystery guests! Bring the family! Before you leave Haverstraw, we can provide a driving map you can use to trace Andre's route through Rockland to Tappan. 
 
At 11 am we meet in Tappan's '76 House parking lot; our guide will take us to the site of the Andre trial and up to Andre Hill, the location of the hanging (a 15 minute walk each way). 
 
Join us for just the Haverstraw portion or just Tappan, but we hope you take in both.
 
Option: after "Andre Hill", join us at The '76 House, approximately noon, for brunch, conversation, and a description of that building's role in these events.
