This rare look into Dexter House will discuss the Franco-American alliance during the War for Independence. Participants will explore a witness house from the American Revolution and walk up Camp Street to see a monument to French soldiers.

Dexter Farm served as a campsite for French General Rochambeau and his troops during the American Revolution. After helping George Washington defeat the British at Yorktown, General Rochambeau encamped his troops at Dexter Farm for three weeks while awaiting ships to transport them back to France. “Rochambeau” Avenue and “Camp” Street commemorate this historical event. Dexter House currently serves as Preserve RI’s headquarters and is generally not open to the public.

This walk is free and open to all. No registration is required. This event is presented in partnership with the Washington-Rochambeau National Historic Trail.
