Join us for a storytelling presentation about Mary Hays McCauley, the plucky woman who assisted her husband and his artillery crew during the Battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778. Her tales are related from the perspective of 1822, the year she receives a pension for her service from the State of Pennsylvania. Molly, attired in her Revolutionary War attire and armed with the material remnants of her service, touches upon the topics of what happened to the veterans of the Revolution AFTER the war, as well as her adventures from the time of her husband’s enlistment to the Battle of Monmouth – and her exciting day of battle.

About
Historic Summerseat

Since its initial construction in 1765, Summerseat has depended on citizens of Morrisville to protect and maintain the structure. Over 250 years later, the building still stands in its original location, encapsulating history and providing important context for local education.

Historic Summerseat is the site where George Washington planned the pivotal Battle of Trenton which occurred December 26, 1776. Summerseat is the only house known to have been owned by two signers of the United States Declaration of Independence, Founding Fathers George Clymer and Robert Morris.
