Historic marker at Ardsley High School

On October 22 the president of the Ardsley Historical Society, Peter Marcus, and Ardsley Town Historian, Rob Pellegrino, unveiled a sign marking Ardsley High School as the site where General George Washington’s troops camped in 1781. They were joined by OHRH President Susan Seal and students in Sean Grady’s seventh grade American history club. The students—who will be working with OHRH to plan our museum and make it fun for everyone—read the story of the French allies coming to the aid of the fledgling United States, the encampment of both armies in Greenburgh and their march to Yorktown, VA and the final victory.
