Taxation, Tyranny and Treason- The Road To The Declaration of Independence    NEW!

This engaging 60-minute program invites residents to step back into the turbulent decade that transformed colonial protest into open revolution. Through vivid visuals and compelling storytelling, the presentation explores how Britain’s victory in the French and Indian War reshaped its empire, how new taxes and trade restrictions stirred resentment, and how the cry of "no taxation without representation" moved from taverns to town squares.

 Residents will revisit pivotal moments including the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the First Continental Congress, leading to the appointment of George Washington and the drafting of the Declaration by Thomas Jefferson. Along the way, we examine the powerful influence of Common Sense and the bold ideas that challenged monarchy and reshaped the world.

 The program is fast-paced, visually rich, and tailored to adult audiences who appreciate thoughtful historical context, lively discussion, and meaningful reflection, particularly at this milestone moment in our nation's story.
