Historian Tim Smith will present A Nation Is Born: The American Revolution in Pennsylvania.  

This year marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States.  In 1776, the area that would become Gettysburg lay on Pennsylvania's western frontier, yet it was closely tied to the revolutionary events unfolding across the colonies.  As the movement for independence took shape, local residents followed the news, debated its meaning, and answered the call to service.  This program explores the American Revolution on a national scale while highlighting how the people of central Pennsylvania experienced and contributed to the founding of the nation.

Registration is required as seating is limited.
