The American Revolution: A Ken Burns Documentary Screening

November 12 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

You’re invited to a special premiere screening of the new Ken Burns documentary, The American Revolution!

The American Revolution examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down.  Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion, won their independence, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe.

There will be light refreshments served, including the same type of tea that was thrown into the harbor during the Boston Tea Party!

This program is FREE but registration is required.

To register, stop by the Upstairs Circulation Desk, call 724-539-1972, or click HERE
