Join us at 12 p.m. Monday, June 8, for an exciting “Lunch and Learn” at Murchison School.

Dr. Elizabeth Chew, CEO of the South Carolina Historical Society, will present “Art and the American Revolution.” In this program, participants will examine the ways that artists depicted the American Revolution both while it was happening and after independence was won. We will consider the images that were available to newly minted Americans so that they could envision the war and its heroes. We will end by looking at the ways the Revolution was remembered fifty years later as the nation headed toward Civil War.

This is part of the South Carolina Historical Society’s Stories Across the State initiative, funded by the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission (SC250), to bring Revolutionary War stories directly to audiences across the state.

This is a free program and lunch will be provided. Please use the link below to register.
