Join us on Thursday, June 17 at 6:30 p.m. for a lecture featuring historian Friederike Baer examining the German auxiliary forces that fought alongside the British forces, commonly referred to as Hessians, not merely as a fighting force but as a military community sustained through domestic labor, familial ties, and collective identity far from home.
As we mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the exhibition Voices of Revolution explores the variety of people who participated in the Revolutionary War and some of the battlefields where their paths crossed, underscoring the scale and importance of this event at the heart of our national identity.
Our short-form video series Year in Revolution tells the story of each year of the war using archival animation that brings to life the Institute’s museum and library collections. Each year is explored through one comprehensive overview video and five “who, what, when, where and how” videos. The videos for 1775-1780 are available now, with more to come!
