13th Annual Conference of the American Revolution – March 27-29, 2026

Last year’s Founding Fathers bus tour was so successful we decided to continue a good thing. We want to use the “power of place” to understand the origins of the American Revolution by visiting the homes and hearths of men who were significantly important to our fight for independence. Our tour guide is a renown Washington scholar. We will visit Washington’s boyhood home, Ferry Farm on the Rappahannock River and Gunston Hall, the home of a sometimes-overlooked Founding Father, George Mason. Gunston Hall is a favorite site with America’s History. Plus, our stop at Historic St. John’s Church will include a reenactment of Patrick Henry’s famous “Give me liberty, or give me death” speech. Our tour will be fully narrated, interpretated and analyzed by Ed Lengel and onsite staff, so you’ll come away with a better understanding of the decisions made by men who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor for the “Glorious Cause.” Don’t miss this one.
