SUMMARY:Telling the Whole Story: Interpreting Difficult Histories for America 250
DESCRIPTION:As we prepare for America’s 250th anniversary\, museums and historic sites have a critical role to play in telling a fuller\, more inclusive story of our nation’s founding. This half-day workshop is designed to help rural and local history organizations navigate and interpret the complex—and often uncomfortable—topics of race\, religion\, and nation-making in ways that are thoughtful\, honest\, and community-centered. \nJoin us for an engaging\, practical session featuring regional leaders who are actively tackling these themes in their own institutions: \n\nRace — Shirley Lee Corsey\, Director of Gather Place Museum\, will explore how museums can engage with the legacies of race and racism in our founding stories and local communities.\nNation-Making — Doug Miller from Pennsbury Manor will guide participants through the complexities of defining “America” in 1776 and who was included (and excluded) from that vision.\nReligion — Devin Manzullo-Thomas\, director of the Sider Institute for Anabaptist\, Pietist\, and Wesleyan Studies and author of Exhibiting Evangelicalism: Commemoration\, Conservative Christianity\, and Religion’s Presence of the Past\, will discuss how museums can discuss issues of faith\, spirituality\, and ecclesiology around the 250th anniversary of America.\n\nThis workshop will include group discussions\, real-life examples\, and actionable tools to help you lead conversations at your site with confidence and care. \n  \nTickets: \nFREE For RHC Members \n$25 NON-MEMBERS

SUMMARY:Lecture – “Nobody Men: Neutrality\, Loyalties\, and Family in the American Revolution”
DESCRIPTION:Washington Crossing Historic Park is pleased to partner with the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society to host a lecture by historian Travis Glasson on his new book\, Nobody Men: Neutrality\, Loyalties\, and Family in the American Revolution (Yale University Press\, 2025). \nWhile the American Revolution is often told as a struggle between Patriots and Loyalists\, at least one-third of the colonial population remained neutral. In this lecture\, Glasson explores the experiences of the Cruger family\, a transatlantic merchant family whose members navigated the war by prioritizing peace and personal survival over political allegiance. Their story reveals the complex choices faced by those who lived “in the middle” during a violent civil war and sheds new light on how revolutionary societies were shaped. \nDrawing on extensive research in the United States and Britain\, Nobody Men offers a powerful and human portrait of neutrality\, family loyalty\, and political uncertainty during the founding of the nation. \nThis lecture will be offered in a hybrid format\, with both in-person and virtual attendance options available. Pre-registration is required for all participants.\n  \n \nAbout the Speaker\nTravis Glasson is Associate Professor of History at Temple University and an Affiliated Faculty member of Temple’s Global Studies Program. He received his MA and PhD from Columbia University and his BA from the College of the Holy Cross. \nHis previous book\, Mastering Christianity: Missionary Anglicanism and Slavery in the Atlantic World (Oxford University Press\, 2012)\, examined the role of Anglican missionaries in shaping debates over slavery and human difference in the Atlantic world. His work has appeared in journals including the William and Mary Quarterly and the Journal of British Studies. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and has received fellowships from institutions including the John Carter Brown Library\, the Huntington Library\, and the University of Cambridge.
