Join us at Stratford Hall or virtually for “Rebel Abroad: A Stratford Subversive in the Heart of Empire.” a public lecture by Dr. Gordon Blaine Steffey, Vice President of Research & Collections and Director of the Jessie Ball duPont Memorial Library at Stratford Hall.

The events of April 19, 1775 in Massachusetts Bay Colony are often remembered collectively as ‘the shot heard round the world.’ Skirmishes in and around Lexington & Concord between British Regulars and colonial Militia were only the first phase of the action. The next phase was a contest for control of the narrative about what actually happened, a phase in which a Lee brother of Stratford was a primary actor! Join us in-person at the Jessie Ball duPont Memorial Library or online at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 19, as we commemorate shots fired at Lexington & Concord and learn the gripping true story of how this Stratford born and raised Rebel Abroad waged a media war against British tyranny.

Pre-registration is required. The Zoom information will be shared prior to the event for those participating virtually.

$10 In-Person at Stratford Hall
$5 Virtual Registration
