Learn about the impact that 15,000 soldiers had on Kennett citizens on September 10,1777.
Featured Speaker: Cliff Parker, Director, Chester County Archives
In September 1777, British and American soldiers marched across Chester County’s landscape, causing considerable damage to those in their path. On September 10, 15,000 British Crown Force soldiers and camp followers descended on Kennett Township and the tiny settlement of Kennett Village. Mr. Parker will share his research and stories of the “ordinary people” and how this event altered the course of many lives. Facilitated by author and journalist Mark Bowden
