Seven Years' War Speaker Series: "The Detritus of Defeat: Dunbar’s Camp and the Anticlimax of Braddock’s Campaign" with Josh Freeman

The Seven Years’ War Speaker Series is a bi-monthly lecture program featuring historians and experts on topics relating to the Seven Years’ War – a global war involving most of the European great powers, fought primarily in Europe and the Americas between 1756-1763.

While the Battle of the Monongahela is often seen as the end of General Edward Braddock’s campaign against Fort Duquesne in 1755, British efforts actually met their final demise on a rocky ridge some fifty miles south of the battlefield. Here, at the camp of the rear detachment commanded by Colonel Thomas Dunbar, the final nail in the coffin was sunk into the once promising campaign.

Cost: Regular museum admission
