In this super-secret meeting, join Museum staff as we learn about the spies of the Revolution! From shopkeepers and mystery women to enslaved men who served as double agents, let’s discover who these spies were and how they operated undercover. We’ll solve some of our puzzles, uncover some secret messages, and discover why George Washington thought spies were essential to the Continental Army’s victory.

Revolution at the Library 2026 is supported by the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
