History Explorers Presents: The Siege of Yorktown

The Siege of Yorktown proved to be the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War in the North American theater, prompting the British government to negotiate an end to the conflict.

At 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, in the Library Center auditorium, learn about the decisive battle that revived French enthusiasm for the war, undermined popular support for the conflict in Great Britain and boosted faltering American morale.

The November History Explorers program commemorates National American History and Founders Month. It was created in 2018 to empower Americans to be active citizens with a greater understanding of our country's foundational origins, its civics and governance. Presented in partnership with the Sons of the American Revolution. For more information call 882-0714.
