Description
To mark the 250th anniversaries of the American Revolution and the founding of the United States, a coalition of local non-profits and government agencies will present Washington in American Memory, a seven-part speaker series. All events take place at the Cambridge Public Library, and will also be livestreamed.
Retrace George Washington’s post-inaugural journeys and explore how he sought to unite a fragile new nation, featuring:
- Peter Drummey, Chief Historian of the Massachusetts Historical Society (Ret.)
- Nathaniel Philbrick, author of Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy, along with many other New York Times bestselling books
This speaker series is made possible through the generous support of America's National Parks, a nonprofit partner of the National Park Service. It is presented in partnership by the National Park Service/Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site, History Cambridge, Cambridge Public Library, Cambridge Historical Commission, and Cambridge MA250.
