Revolutionary Stories of Loudoun County

Thu, Nov 12 · 7:00 PM Cascades Library

Throughout the war and its aftermath, local residents of all backgrounds shared their stories via legislative petitions and narratives of their war service. These petitions and narratives — along with maps, wills, newspapers and other documents — are preserved at the Library of Virginia. Topics include religious liberty, wartime experience at home and in the service, and community issues navigated during a time of profound change. This program is a collaboration with Loudoun VA250. Learn about the Loudoun VA250 Committee here and the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250) here . View all of our programs celebrating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution .
