Event Description

Join Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Edward Larson for a timely forum on his forthcoming book, Declaring Independence: Why 1776 Matters. As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding, Larson offers a powerful reexamination of the ideas, debates, and military turning points that made independence possible. From Common Sense to the Declaration itself, and from Boston to Trenton, Larson explores how 1776 transformed colonial resistance into a revolutionary movement—and why its lessons remain urgent for America today.

    Discover the Battle Road

    This week from Discover the Battle Road:  Meet Colonel James Barrett, who, along with his wife, Rebecca, frantically hid stockpiled arms from British soldiers in the early hours of the morning of April 19, 1775. Later that day, the town of Menotomy (current day Arlington) would experience the largest, longest, and bloodiest engagement of the day. Discover more about the decisive action and selfless sacrifice of that momentous day.
