America 250: The People of Clermont in 1776

We’re continuing Clermont’s celebration of the Semiquincentennial with a series of presentations about Clermont at the brink of revolution. Join Historic Site Manager and premier Livingston scholar, Geoff Benton, for a presentation about the People of Clermont in 1776. Delve into the lives of the Livingston family, the dozens of people they enslaved, and the thousands of Palatine Germans bound to their lands. How did their lives intertwine? How were they affected by the revolution? And were they all on the same side? A discussion over tea will follow.

This presentation compliments our presentation on Saturday June 20^th, “America 250: The Livingstons of Clermont in 1776,” by Interpretive Programs Assistant, Emily Robinson. This event is part of Path Through History Weekend.
