First Oval Office Project at Haddonfield Middle School

Join the Museum on Nov. 1-2 at Haddonfield Middle School in Haddonfield, N.J., where we will set up our First Oval Office Project, a recreated Revolutionary War encampment, including handsewn, full-scale replicas of General George Washington's sleeping and office marquee and baggage tent that were part of his mobile headquarters while on campaign. Navigate the encampment, explore the tents, and meet Museum staff and costumed living history interpreters portraying the people who would have been there. General Washington’s original office tent from the Revolutionary War is on permanent display at the Museum of the American Revolution in historic Philadelphia.

This event is presented in partnership with the Haddonfield Educational Trust, Friends of the Indian King Tavern Museum, New Jersey Parks, Forests, & Historic Sites, and the Haddonfield Board of Education. Haddonfield Middle School is located at 5 Lincoln Avenue in Haddonfield, N.J.
