A visitor looks at a tableau scene depicting George Washington breaking up a fight among his troops in Harvard Yard.

Join fellow Museum Members on a select weekend each month for special Members-only tours of our galleries, special exhibitions, and historic neighborhood.

On Sunday, Dec. 7, at 9:30 a.m., join us for a special 30-minute gallery talk about wintery scenes of the Revolutionary War. Stop at a tableau scene depicting George Washington breaking up a fight between members of the young American army in a snowy Harvard Yard, and see William B.T. Trego's iconic painting, March to Valley Forge, December 19, 1777, showing a hungry and cold Continental Army tracking bloody footsteps in the snow en route to their winter encampment.
