Night at the Museum: Loyalists in America, The Price of Resistance

All Events

An examination of the difficult choices individual colonialists made regarding the American Revolution for freedom from England. What drove those choices, what were the impacts to the people that made them and what was the effect on the emerging country?

Not everyone joined the ranks of the Patriots and their story is mostly forgotten or hidden in our celebrated past. We will explore some of that history and shed light on the part played by local families in Delaware.
