Fisher is depicted firing a signal gun\, alerting Patriot forces to the approach of an enemy ship near the Delaware Bay. Visitors are invited to contribute stitches to the tapestry and observe stitchers as they work. Included with admission. Members free. \nAmerica’s Tapestry will also be at Winterthur on September 21\, October 26\, November 19\, December 17\, March 14\, and April 1.
