Upcoming events celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War will be the topic at the October Mamaroneck Historical Society Members Get-together.

Society President John Pritts will speak during the meeting, 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, at the Woman's Club of Mamaroneck, 504 Cortlandt Avenue.

Revolutionary War 250 is planning on big events to celebrate Westchester’s part in our early efforts for freedom from the British.

In October of 1776 the Skirmish on Heathcote Hill took place right here in our town. 750 American troops were sent by George Washington stationed in White Plains to surprise British troops camped on Heathcote Hill under the leadership of Colonel Rogers. Rogers' headquarters was the original schoolhouse located where Orienta Ave and Old White Plains Road meet today.
