Renowned Historian to Address Significance of the American Revolutionary War
Drawing from his broad experience as a historian and museum executive, R. Scott Stephenson, Ph.D., president and CEO of the Philadelphia-based Museum of the American Revolution, will present a lecture on the significance of the extraordinary events that led to the birth of America in 1776 and the patriots’ eventual victory over the British in the seven-year war for independence.
The talk, which is the first in a three-part lecture series ‘Reflections on the Revolution’ − generously supported by Sotheby’s International Realty – will take place Saturday, January 18th at 2pm in Greenwich Historical Society’s Barn. Tickets are by reservation only. For more information and to purchase tickets: Remembering America’s Revolution.
“It is a privilege to have Dr. Stephenson at the Historical Society to share compelling stories about the people and events that led to America’s fight for independence,” says Historical Society Executive Director and CEO Debra Mecky. “The topic is timely and provides us all an opportunity to reflect on what the Revolutionary era means for us today and how we can commemorate the anniversary in 2026.”
