- Previews of The American Revolution will be shown at 11:15am, 12:15 or 1:15pm. All previews are identical.

- Join a hands-on quilting workshop for all ages and skill levels led by members of the Stuhr Museum team and contribute to creating a community quilt in honor of America 250.

About the Film:

"The American Revolution," a six-part, twelve-hour series on America’s founding struggle, will present the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation, their humanity in victory and defeat, and the crisis that they lived through. By weaving together accounts of American political leaders and their British counterparts with the perspectives of the so-called ordinary people who waged and witnessed war, "The American Revolution" will be an expansive, evenhanded look at the virtues and the contradictions in the fight for independence and the birth of the United States.
