Try on uniforms of the Revolutionary War! In honor of “Hamilton” premiering in Washington, D.C., join fellow fans for an evening exploring the uniforms from the different nationalities that converged on Yorktown in 1781. Chris Daley, historical clothing manager for the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation will give you the opportunity to try on and compare uniform coats of the American, British, French and German troops as well as coats worn by African Americans serving with the British army.

Each coat has been carefully researched and painstakingly reproduced in several sizes to help bring the Siege of Yorktown to life. Bring a camera and take photos of yourself and family members in the uniforms of the Revolutionary War. Reception before and after the program. Program begins at 7 p.m.
