This July the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Beyond its primary function of stating the end of British rule in the former colonies\, the Declaration also served as a statement of principles for the new nation. Generations of Americans have looked to the anniversary of the declaration’s signing and adoption to make sense\, in their time and place\, of our founding manifesto. The panel brings together historians and public scholars to explore how Americans have remembered\, commemorated\, and debated the Revolution from the eighteenth century to the present. Panelists will discuss the WV250 initiative\, examine the evolving history of Revolutionary commemorations in public institutions and museums\, and consider the Revolution’s enduring meaning and legacy. The conversation will address how the nation’s founding continues to shape civic identity\, historical memory\, and public life today. \nAbout this lecture series: The Lectures and Libations series was first started by Shepherd University prior to the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to bring engaging\, faculty-led discussions to a community setting. Now relaunched as part of the Lifelong Learning program in partnership with Shepherd faculty\, the series offers accessible\, thought-provoking presentations that help strengthen connections between the University and the broader local community. \nOrganizer: Shepherd University Lifelong Learning \nLocation: Alma Bea \nSource: View original event URL:https://shepherdstownshares.com/event/lectures-and-libations-250-years-of-independence-an-exploration-of-the-history-memory-and-meaning/ CATEGORIES:Arts / Exhibits,Community & Civic,Community Events,Education & Workshops,Family Friendly,History,Imported,Lecture / Discussion / Book Talk,Support / Services END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260917T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260918T000000 DTSTAMP:20260904T131506Z CREATED:20260904T131506Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260904T131506Z UID:2411-1789682400-1789689600@shepherdstownshares.com SUMMARY:Legendary Book Sale Preview Night DESCRIPTION:Location: 102 E.

It was a central feature during the Battle of Shepherdstown that included Union soldiers killed by friendly artillery fire.\nGeneral admission (no reservation required).\nThis event is presented by the Shepherdstown Battlefield Preservation Association\, Inc (Shepherdstownbattlefield.org).\nThe Opera House doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
