From the Vault—Prisoners of the Revolution

May 21, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Join library staff, along with historian Susan Brynne Long, Ph.D., for a special program exploring selections from our library collections relating to the experience of prisoners of war during the American Revolution. The captivity experience of British and American prisoners varied significantly between officers and enlisted men, German and British captives, and across geographies. This special public viewing will allow guests to view rare items up close while learning about the harsh realities and experiences of POWs confined in camps, communities or prison ships. This program will be held in-person only. Registration is limited and will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tickets: $25 per person
