Sure to be an event you soon won't forget! Deborah Sampson, the first woman to fight in and be honorably discharged from the American Miliarty, captivates audiences in an Immersive Living History Experience chronicling her life. An indentured servant by age five, Deborah grew up in a man's world, where women were naught by second-class citizens. As a self-educated, masterless woman, she felt a higher calling, and in the final years of an American Revolution, Deborah bound her chest, tied back her hair, and enlisted in the 4th Massachusetts Regiment of the Continental Army, as "Robert Shurtlieff." 

The American Heroine takes you back in time! Running time: 60 minutes, followed by Q&A.
