Ken Burns’ six-part, 12-hour documentary “The American Revolution” airs on PBS November 16. In production for 8 years, the documentary is “an expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of the war and the birth of the United States of America,” according to PBS. Does the documentary get it right? Is it presenting history with a modern lens? Was anything left out?

We’ve assembled a panel of historical experts to discuss the documentary—and take your questions. Join us!

Members of the Valley Forge Park Alliance at the Grand Patron, Benefactor, or Friend’s Circle level can register for a courtesy ticket at checkout. Not sure of your membership status? Email membership@vfparkaliance.org for information.
