Step into Washington’s Command Center in Historic Moorestown!
For the first time in nearly 250 years, General George Washington’s legendary War Tent [replica] will travel the Historic Kings Highway and make its grand appearance in Moorestown! 
Join the Historical Society of Moorestown, in partnership with the Museum of the American Revolution and Moorestown250, as we host The First Oval Office Project—a powerful, traveling exhibition commemorating the Nation’s 250th Semiquincentennial.
Experience History Like Never Before:
• Walk in His Footsteps: Encounter a full-scale, hand-stitched replica of Washington’s Revolutionary War Tent—the very space often called America’s “First Oval Office.” This tent was his wartime headquarters, a command center where critical decisions were made and the Continental Army was led. Experience Curt Radabaugh as George Washington!
• Immersive Encounters: Step into the past with costumed interpreters, interactive displays, associated replica camp equipage, and furnishings that bring the era to vivid life. You may even meet George & Martha, Ben Franklin, and others!
• A Day of Revolutionary Fun: Enjoy live 18th-century music with The Sea Dogs, delicious food, and hands-on colonial crafts for all ages. Watch Mount Vernon’s Resident Baker, Justin Cherry (chef and owner of Half Crown Bakehouse), build a traditional oven and bake fresh bread throughout the day. Get your silhouette profile cut by acclaimed artist Lauren Muney of Silhouettes By Hand and watch basket making with Peapod Weavers. Plus, enjoy engaging games suitable for the whole family!
Come in costume for maximum fun!
