AMERICA 250: Lunch & Learn: The Revolutionary War in Bucks & Montgomery Counties

Join us and historian Michael Jesberger for a waffle breakfast, presentation on the Revolution as it happened here in our backyards, and a hot catered lunch, followed by a tour of the Keith House if you wish.

We may remember the 1776 crossing of the Delaware and the Valley Forge encampment as events that tested the endurance of the patriot forces, but the continental soldiers triumphed over scores of other hardships at places lesser known. In the fall of 1777, the Continental Army fought two key battles and marched hundreds of miles through all types of terrain and in all sorts of weather. Often deprived of food, sleep, and comfort, the soldiers deserve recognition for what they endured during this campaign for the cause of liberty.

But it is not just the soldiers who struggled, thousands of civilians on the homefront had to deal with the same difficult conditions as two armies fought over the ground they called home. Join historical reenactor, lecturer and tour guide, Michael Jesberger for this lecture which will include Images of Philadelphia area historic sites, maps, and eyewitness accounts of the participants which will bring these seldom-celebrated events to life.
