Event Description
Local historian Mike Gilbert shares fascinating stories of local and national history during this popular series, which takes place on six Saturdays in September and October. This week, Gilbert discusses the Prelude to the American Revolution. The collapse of the British East India Company and unrest at home pushed Britain into taxing tea and hiring Hessian soldiers, exposing an overstretched empire straining to hold its power as the Revolution unfolded.
Pre-recorded virtual sessions also will be offered for those who cannot attend in-person. Each session is $5, or registrants can purchase all six for $25. Pre-registration and pre-payment for both in-person and virtual sessions are required. Cash, checks and credit cards are accepted.
To register and pay, contact Julie Mayle, curator of manuscripts, at [email protected]. No refunds.
History Roundtable is sponsored by ProMedica Memorial Hospital.
