America250 - The Founding Mothers
Wednesday, March 4 • 1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
The “Mothers” of America aren’t often mentioned. The women whose influence on the early years of the United States reverberated for centuries afterwards. While many of us remember reading something about Martha Washington and Abigail Adams, there are so many more women to admire. Whether they assisted in the years-long Revolutionary War or had one brief moment of heroism, their actions had long-lasting and nation-building effects. Learn about soldiers, writers, printers, scholars, farmers, artists, and spies–all women, and all vital to our nation’s history.
