Kim Hanley brings to life this extraordinary Revolutionary War figure who transcended traditional gender roles on the battlefield. \nOriginally accompanying her husband to war\, Mary took on the vital role of water carrier\, bringing life-saving refreshment to soldiers and cooling overheated cannons during battle. But at the pivotal Battle of Monmouth in 1778\, when her husband fell wounded at his artillery post\, Mary did the unthinkable—she stepped forward to take his place\, operating the cannon with skill throughout the fierce fighting. \nThis remarkable act of courage earned her the personal commendation of General George Washington himself\, who granted her the honorary rank of Sergeant. Eyewitness accounts describe her remarkable composure even when enemy fire tore through her petticoat! \nJoin us for this interactive historical presentation perfect for grade schoolers. Young visitors will participate in hands-on activities including learning drum cadences\, loading a mock “cannon” with period household items\, and experiencing some of the lighter moments of camp life through dancing and singing. \n  \n  \nThursday\, April 2nd\, 2026 @ 6 pm \nTaylor Pavilion\, 500 Ocean Ave. N\, Belmar \n  \nFREE & OPEN to the public \nSeating limited\, registration required  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″ icons_position=”left”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″ icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_empty_space hide_on_wide=”” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1735483771741{margin-right: 25px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;}”][vc_column fix_column=”” hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” icons_position=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1735407634847{margin-right: 25px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;}”][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE” style=”classic” color=”green” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2Fj27xjxui97TyMyeK8|title:Living%20History%3A%20Molly%20Pitcher|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_empty_space hide_on_wide=”” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
