Program Redcoats to Rebels

The Hebron Preservation Society and the Washington County Historical Society are co-hosting their first program for 2026. This talk is an exploration of the wars that were fought along the “Great Warpath” and the people who fought them.

The 250th anniversary of this nation’s birth has deep roots that run through this natural pathway of conflict. This presentation will explore some of the region’s places and personalities who played a part in both events that preceded the American Revolution and the events that decided it.
