Join us Saturday, October 3 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm in the Tapping Reeve Meadow to experience the Museum of the American Revolution's First Oval Office Project.
The First Oval Office Project is a handsewn reproduction of General George Washington’s mobile headquarters that was used as the command center of the Continental Army. The encampment includes this replica of Washington’s sleeping and office marquee as well as associated baggage and common soldiers’ tents, camp equipage, and furnishings. Visitors are invited to explore these replicas inside and out through immersive educational programming; try out replica equipment, tools, and uniforms, and engage with living history interpreters who bring to life the stories of the diverse people and complex events surrounding the Revolutionary War.
General George Washington’s original sleeping and office tent from the Revolutionary War is on permanent display at the Museum of the American Revolution in historic Philadelphia.
