Revolutionary Family: The Biddles & American Independence, Andalusia Historic House
Friends of Washington Crossing Park and Andalusia Historic House, Gardens & Arboretum are excited to partner on a special program highlighting Andalusia’s upcoming exhibition, Revolutionary Family: The Biddles & American Independence. Timed to coincide with the nation’s semiquincentennial, “Revolutionary Family: The Biddles & American Independence” presents historic objects, artwork, and manuscripts to explore the influential roles that Biddle family members played during the Revolution, as well as wartime activities near the pre-Andalusia site. Andalusia has created four short-format documentary videos that feature a variety of guest experts and Andalusia’s Executive Director John Vick and Research Assistant Brie Stoltzfus to illuminate the experiences of nine Revolutionary-era Biddle family members. Each video explores these family members’ stories of bravery, loss, ingenuity, love, and friendship during the Revolution: Mary Scull Biddle, matriarch and map editor and her son John Biddle, surveyor and exiled loyalist; Colonel Clement and Rebekah Biddle, a devoted couple at camp; Captains Nicholas and Charles Biddle, brothers at sea; and Edward, James, and Owen Biddle, leaders of Revolutionary thought and action.
