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.
Explore the 19th century origins of preservation at Mount Vernon, current conservation work, and the estate’s future, featuring:
- Doug Bradburn, President and CEO of George Washington’s Mount Vernon and co-founder and editor of the book series, Early American Histories
- Andrea Sahin, Vice Regent for Massachusetts to the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association
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.
