Walking Tour led by Lucie Levine
The British Revolutionary War spymaster Major General George Beckwith claimed that “Washington didn’t really outfight the British, he simply out-spied us.”
Join Archive on Parade founder Lucie Levine as she retraces the steps of Washington’s master spies, who operated in Lower Manhattan. Discover who peddled the first fake news, meet the tailor who saved Washington’s life twice, and find out what Eagles, Turtles, and Vultures have to do with turncoats and saboteurs.
