Join Twin Cities PBS and local history organizations for individual screenings of select episodes of Ken Burns’ The American Revolution. The series concludes with a final panel and discussion featuring clips from all six episodes. Partnerships include Dakota Count Historical Society, Ramsey County Historical Society, Hennepin History Museum, Hennepin County Public Library, and the Minnesota Historical Society.

Hennepin History Museum will be hosting a screening and leading a community discussion of Episode 5, “The Soul of All America (December 1777 – May 1780),” at the Minneapolis Central Library at 11:00 am on Saturday, August 15th.

In this episode, Washington’s Continental Army emerges from the harsh winter at Valley Forge to fight the British Army in the inconclusive Battle of Monmouth. But the alliance with France changes the war and moves it to other theaters. Navies battle off England’s coast and in the Caribbean, while armies advance into Indian Country and the southern states. Together, the British Army and Navy capture Charleston.

The event is free but registration is encouraged.
