SUMMARY:Second Saturday - June
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to welcome author and historian Dr. Emily Sneff to the History Center Museum! She will be presenting about her book “When the Declaration of Independence Was News.” Dr. Sneff is an early American historian and leading expert on the Declaration of Independence. She earned her Ph.D. in history from William & Mary. She is a consulting curator for exhibitions marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration at the Museum of the American Revolution and Historic Trappe. \nBlurb of the Book: \nPublishing for the 250th anniversary of the United States\, When the Declaration of Independence Was News focuses on the nation’s founding document at the moment of its creation in 1776\, before anyone knew what the legacy of the Declaration would be or if the United States would win the war against Great Britain. It explores how the Declaration was communicated to people in the new nation and around the Atlantic world and reveals the stories of the many people involved in the process of declaring independence\, from printers to soldiers to diplomats to translators. \nPurchase a copy of her book here.
