Exhibit Opening- Von Steuben: Architect of American Independence

Free event. Refreshments will be served. RSVP [email protected] to attend.

OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, April 17th | 6:00 PM

Exhibit runs: April 17th – May 15th  

The exhibition shines a long‑overdue light on Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, the brilliant military strategist whose training transformed the Continental Army and helped secure America’s independence. Though history often obscures it, von Steuben was a gay man whose life and legacy were shaped by the queer networks that supported him. 

The Von Steuben Architect of American Independence Exhibition has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom
