By placing Western PA at the center of the story, we gain new insight into the American Revolution.
In May 1775, some 250 years ago, several North American colonies had just begun fighting a war for independence against King George and the British Empire. Many of the most popular retellings of this war center on events that took place along the Atlantic Coast but the area we now know as Western Pennsylvania was at the center of many rebel leaders’ plans for an independent nation.
Understanding the upper Ohio River Valley in the late 1700s is the keystone to understanding the whole arc of the then geographic past, present and future of the United States.
The Revolutionary War was fundamentally a war fought over land and the Ohio River was an important waterborne transportation link to the new nation’s success. By placing Western PA at the center of the story, we gain new insight into the American Revolution.
The Lawrence County Historical Society invites you to join us for this information and fascinating historical lecture by Professor David H. Lehman, Professor of History, Westminster College.
