Mach 17-19: Annual Conference of the American Revolution
Our friends at America’s History are hosting a series of events the weekend of March 17-19, 2023 in Colonial Williamsburg. Starting off with a guided tour of the Yorktown battlefield to examine eighteenth century field fortification construction, artillery weapons, and the application of siege warfare doctrine, the British defensive positions and the Franco-American coalition army’s parallel and approach trenches and more. At the tour’s conclusion, participants will better understand how the combined allied forces were able to destroy the combat power of a major British field army that was defending well-fortified positions without resorting to bloody frontal assaults.
A cocktail reception at 6:30 pm will be hosted following the bus tour for all speakers and attendees. For more information regarding events, scheduling and registration, please click here!
