Great! We have people coming from California, Arizona, Texas, Illinois, Maryland, throughout the Northeast and more! We have a couple of spots left if others want to join us for this deep dive into history where it happened.
I'm excited to say I’m attending the 250th Trenton History Weekend, hosted by @PursuingHistory, in November!
It features incredible historians, including @Boston1775 and Rick Herrera.
Registration is still open and includes like 8 books! The itinerary includes lectures and tours. I’m especially excited for the lantern-walking tour at Washington’s Crossing.
Link in the comments for anyone interested in attending!
