To mark the 250th anniversaries of the American Revolution and the founding of the United States, a coalition of Cambridge non-profits and government agencies will present Washington in American Memory, a seven-part speaker series taking place in-person and online.
Explore the 19th century origins of preservation at Mount Vernon, current conservation work, and the estate’s future, featuring:
-Doug Bradburn, President and CEO of George Washington’s Mount Vernon and co-founder and editor of the book series, Early American Histories
-Andrea Sahin, Vice Regent for Massachusetts to the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association
This speaker series is made possible through the generous support of America's National Parks, a nonprofit partner of the National Park Service. It is presented in partnership by the National Park Service/Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site, History Cambridge, Cambridge Public Library, Cambridge Historical Commission, and Cambridge MA250.
