Forging a Nation: The Linked Legacies of 1776 and 1917

An exclusive evening of learning, connection and celebration for educators as part of the Museum and Memorial’s celebration of America’s 250th. This dynamic scholar program and professional development opportunity includes a light reception and after-hours access to the first stop of the Freedom Plane National Tour: Documents that Forged a Nation. Award-winning professor and author Dr. Richard Faulkner will lead a conversation (“The Generals of the Armies: Washington and Pershing”) prior to the exhibition experience.

This free evening, in partnership with George Washington's Mount Vernon, is designed to honor teachers as scholars and civic leaders, while offering behind-the-scenes insight and opportunities to engage with rare materials that shape how we understand America’s past and its future.

Follow-up small-group professional development dinner
