"In the Footsteps of the American Revolution" Artist Talk with Steven Edson

The 250th anniversary of the American Revolution has prompted locals to revisit and reconsider our town landmarks. Bare fields and unassuming street corners hold stories that only the most ardent history lovers remember, some marked with worn signs and others nearly lost to time. Others teem with tour guides and attract visitors from near and far. Steven Edson’s photography of these modern Revolutionary locations, currently on display at Munroe Tavern, urges the public to reconsider the spaces they drive by and inhabit every day.

Join the artist for a discussion of this project, our relationship with the historical landscape around us, and further images from this collection.
