About the event
Redding’s Revolutionary Years:
As the nation prepares to mark its 250th anniversary, Redding’s co-historians present a fascinating look at the town during one of the most consequential decades in American history.
Co-historians Bruce Nelson and Brent Colley discuss the everyday lives of Reddingites during the mid-18th century, and how those lives were upended by political tensions and, eventually, the outbreak of the Revolution. Through stories, letters and newspaper accounts, learn how the Revolution unfolded at the local level, and how those stories fit into the broader history of our nation.
