The Neutral Ground: Westchester County in the American Revolution

After the 1776 Battle of White Plains, Westchester County became known as the “Neutral Ground.” But there would be no peace here.

Join historian Stephen Paul DeVillo as he reveals Westchester’s divided history from his new book, Westchester County in the American Revolution.
