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 effects of the American Revolution on the British empire. Britain’s “black holes” overlooked imperial episodes including the displacement of Loyalists, the legal limbo of privateers and the plight of prisoners. Administrative indifference, maritime law ambiguity and wartime movement erased their lives from official histories.

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. 

This event is part of Hayes Presidential’s year-long America 250 celebration. Partial funding for America 250 events is by Albrechta & Liebold, Ltd., Attorneys at Law.
