As part of its six-month exhibition, Colonial Firefighting & the American Revolution, the Museum will host a private viewing and special panel discussion on the great fire of 1776, how it started, how it was fought, and who was to blame for the devastation and suffering it caused. Revolutionary-era Manhattan was a chaotic scene of American Loyalists, British troops, Patriot spies, and thousands of New Yorkers seeking to weather the maelstrom of the Revolution.
