On this episode of Our American Stories, George Washington didn't lead the American Revolution from a grand office or government building. He led it from a canvas tent that traveled with the Continental Army across the colonies. Inside its weathered walls, Washington planned campaigns, met with officers, and made decisions that would shape the future of a new nation.

Our regular contributor, Ashley Hlebinsky, shares the remarkable story of George Washington's war tent, the portable headquarters that became America's first Oval Office and one of the most important surviving artifacts of the Revolutionary War.
