CLIVEDEN HOUSE
Considering Re-enactments: The Battle of Germantown in the Light of 21st-Century
Gun Violence Community Roundtable
Wednesday, February 17 at 7 p.m. ET

Cliveden is known as the site of the 1777 Revolutionary War Battle of Germantown
and the annual Revolutionary Germantown Festival held on the grounds every first

re-enactment as an interpretive tool with the help of the community. Join the
conversation with scholars, community members, and re-enactors to address gun
violence from historical and modern points of view.
