A dramatic portrayal in the first person of Peggy Shippen, wife of Benedict Arnold by actress Char Weigel.

You may think you know the story of Peggy Shippen, wife of Benedict Arnold, if you have watched Turn:  Washington's Spies or read one of the many books that portray her as either the master mind behind Arnold's treason or a total innocent.  The true story of her involvement and how it affected her life is much more complex and fascinating than the fiction.  Come hear Peggy, in her own words, describe her participation with Arnold and British intelligence officer Major John Andre in a plot that could have changed the outcome of the war.  And what she did after that may surprise you!
