Fall Campfire Program – John Laurens: Forgotten Patriot

Saturday, October 26, 2024 at 7 PM

John Laurens was dedicated to serving his country with virtue and loyalty, but just like anyone he had his flaws. What do we know about who John Laurens really was, and why is he considered one of the unsung heroes of the American Revolution?

----------

Fall campfire programs take place at 7 PM on selected Saturdays in autumn at Conway's Brigade.

Join a park ranger for an interactive evening by the campfire as we discuss interesting
stories of Valley Forge and the American Revolution. The programs are located at Conway’s Brigade, and run for about an hour. Topics vary.

Accessible from PA Route 23. Park at the Von Steuben Statue parking lot or the
Varnum’s Picnic Area parking lot, then walk down the historic trace road, following the lanterns to Conway’s Brigade.

Bring a flashlight, a blanket, and a jacket.

The program will be canceled in the event of rain, call 610-783-1099 before 5 PM to check on the status of the program.
