Coffee Talk Lecture: Revolutionary War Icons – The Whole Story
Saturday, April 11 | 3:00-4:00 p.m.
2nd Floor – Room 1&2

Joel Farkas returns with another topic for our America250 series this time highlighting the icons of the Revolution!

• What caused the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr?
• Why did Benedict Arnold become a traitor?
• Did all those people really fit in that small boat with Washington when he crossed the Delaware? And speaking of George Washington, were his false teeth really made out of wood?

Get the answers to all these questions and a whole lot more, once you know THE WHOLE STORY!
