Fall Lecture Series – The American Revolution in Pennsylvania

Join the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates for their annual fall lecture series at the Daniel Boone Homestead. Historians and scholars will share their knowledge on various topics with the local community and its visitors. This year’s lectures will focus on the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn more about life in the past. Is it possible to sit out a violent revolution? What happens when neutrality isn’t an option? Join us on September 13 as historian Aaron Sullivan explores these questions in the context of the American Revolution in Pennsylvania, looking closely at the British military occupation of Philadelphia and the often tragic plight of the many Americans who struggled to survive the war without picking one side or the other. Aaron Sullivan is an author and historian living near Philadelphia. He teaches history at Rider University in Lawrenceville, NJ, and his book The Disaffected (Penn Press, 2019), received the Book of the Year Award from the American Revolutionary Roundtable of Philadelphia. Sullivan received his Doctorate in History from Temple University in Philadelphia in 2014 and his Bachelor’s in Computer Science from LeTourneau University in 2004. Admission for the lectures is a $2/person suggested donation. Please, no pets and no smoking. The Fall Lecture Series will take place in the DeTurk Education Center. This program is presented and funded by The Daniel Boone Homestead Associates.
