Martha Washington Behind the Lines

Martha Washington didn’t just sit back while history was made—she rolled up her sleeves and fought alongside George in the trenches of the Revolutionary War, staying with the army through six brutal winters, cooking, mending, and boosting morale.

Thanks to new research and institutions like the Virginia Museum of History and Culture, these overlooked heroes are finally getting the spotlight they deserve as America celebrates its 250th anniversary.
