Homeschool Program: Life as a Loyalist: Jonathan Sayward in York

A photo of an opulent room with bright carpeting and portraits hanging on the wall.

Participants will learn about the thorny history of Jonathan Sayward, who was both a prominent and respected member of the community, and loyal to Great Britain during the American Revolution. After examining the lives and choices of Sayward and others in his household, including Prince, an enslaved man who enlisted in the Continental Army, participants will be prompted to think about where their own loyalties may have lain and to create an artwork expressing their decision.
