Conversations in History: Heroes of Brandywine

The year 1777 was a crucial year for General Washington and the Continental Army. As they faced down the British Army at the Battle of Brandywine, Fauquier, Prince William, and Loudoun County men of the 3rd Virginia Continental Regiment fought with vigor against an onslaught of British troops. Their defiant stand helped win crucial time for Washington’s army and may have saved the American cause. VPHA Director of Education Travis Shaw will lead a discussion of these Piedmont soldiers and their role in this climactic moment in the 1777 Philadelphia Campaign.
