Doors open 5:45 pm

Join us for a fascinating conversation between two distinguished historians—one American and one British—as they examine the enduring legacy of one of the Revolution’s most pivotal early battles. Through thoughtful dialogue and historical insight, the panel of Nathaniel Philbrick and Dr. Emma Hart moderated by Dr. Brooke Barbier will explore how the Battle of Bunker Hill has been remembered, interpreted, and understood on both sides of the Atlantic over the past 250 years.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions and take part in a broader community conversation following the discussion. This free public event promises to offer a compelling reflection on the past—and what it means for us today.

Free and open to all. Advance registration is highly recommended.
