SUMMARY:George Washington's Traveling Military Family
DESCRIPTION:General Washington traveled with aides\, his wife\, her two adult children\, assorted guests\, and a full retinue of housekeeping staff. The socials\, or entertainments\, for the officers and their wives\nduring the travels in addition to the daily needs in rented and hastily occupied quarters\, required a full housekeeping staff. As the family and friends traveled\, there was always a threat of attack\,\nplots of kidnapping and assassination\, and traitors from within. The General stopped at over two hundred different homes during the war years\, sixty-three of them in New Jersey and the best\ncount of homes and taverns where he set up temporary household was thirty-five more different stops. His travel mates included thirty to fifty military bodyguards\, his personal aide\, and his\nwife. During the course of the war\, entertainment and daily housekeeping demanded two cooks\, a laundress\, and a housekeeper. The number of other servants varied\, including servants of all\ntypes\, white and enslaved. The General’s “Military Family\,” as he named it \, traveled with him. \nThis event is being held at Riverwalk Village at House of the Good Shepherd and on Zoom.  \nZoom details will be emailed out to registrants on the day of the program.
