Hear the echoes of 18^thCentury Colonial America…speak with Native Americans and oncoming Europeans as they whisper to us their values and dreams.

This is your moment to witness why our ancestors made decisions that would alter the course of American history.

Guarding against the death of our cultural heritage and natural treasures, this event recognizes the value in remembering the past and its connection to the present. Then, reflect upon your role in the future of America, and the legacies that we will leave to our grandchildren.
