As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, our shared history feels more alive — and more worth protecting — than ever. This is your chance to experience it up close. Join us Thurs. May 14 at Duportail House for a powerful evening with Michael C. Harris as he brings to life the dramatic 1777 campaigns that unfolded right here in our backyard — the Battle of the Clouds, Paoli, and the road to Valley Forge. He’ll also have all six of his books available for purchase and signing. Every ticket supports historic preservation in our community, and seats are expected to go fast. Don’t wait — claim your spot and step into history with us. Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust Spring Lecture Series - www.tredyffrinhistory.org for tickets
