About

Inspired by our latest exhibition, The Occupied City: New York and the American Revolution, this day of professional learning explores perspectives on the American Revolution that have been historically excluded or underrepresented. Guided gallery tours, hands-on workshops, and lesson plan demos will help you bring the exhibition into your classroom and change the way you see – and teach - the American Revolution! 

A light breakfast of coffee, tea, and pastries is provided.
