  • Curators in Conversation: Revisiting the Story of the Revolution

    Historical Society of Pennsylvania 1300 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Join curators Bill Ewald and David Brigham for a gallery talk conversation that revisits the American Revolution through the exhibition Paths to Independence. Moving beyond a simple Patriot versus Loyalist framework, they explore how revolutionary ideals intersected with the practical realities of war—provisioning, militias, governance, and daily decision‑making. This discussion opens the story wider, asking how curators can reintroduce historical complexity and include many voices in telling the nation’s founding moment. Discover how ideas, operations, and lived experience shaped the Revolution we continue to interpret today.
