About This Event
As communities across the nation commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, join Heritage Conservancy for an engaging discussion exploring the many voices and experiences that shaped this pivotal moment in history.
While the Revolutionary War is often remembered through stories of famous leaders and battles, the conflict was experienced differently by the people who lived through it. This moderated panel discussion will examine the Revolution through multiple perspectives, including local Bucks County history, Indigenous experiences, and the contributions of Black soldiers and civilians.
Through historians and other experts, the program will explore how the war unfolded in our region, whose stories have traditionally been overlooked, and how these diverse experiences continue to shape our understanding of the past.
The evening will include a moderated discussion followed by an audience question-and-answer session. Refreshments will be provided.
