Freedom and Revolution: America 250 — Then and Now

Kick off the Shenandoah Valley’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary with an evening of history, reflection, and civic dialogue. Experience Ken Burns’ acclaimed new documentary The American Revolution, which vividly brings to life the people, ideas, and events that shaped our nation’s founding. After the screening, Jayme Swain, President & CEO of VPM, Virginia’s home for public media, will moderate a thought-provoking conversation with historians and the audience on the evolving meaning of freedom and revolution—from 1776 to today.
