Freedom Historical Society Presents “The Spirit of Service”, an Excerpt from “The American Revolution” Documentary on Saturday, March 21

A Community Screening and Discussion

Celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country with the Freedom Public Library, the Freedom Historical Society, and the Effingham Historical Society who are partnering to present a special community screening and discussion of “The Spirit of Service”, a 30-minute excerpt from The American Revolution, the acclaimed documentary by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt. Made possible with support from PBS and WETA, “The Spirit of Service” explores the vital roles played by colonists during the American Revolution, highlighting acts of service beyond military participation.

After the video screening, a facilitated discussion with audience participation will be led by Freedom resident John Mackey, Chair of Social Sciences Division and Master Lecturer, College of General Studies, Boston University. Learn also about New Hampshire’s special connections to the American Revolution.

The program is free and will be held at the Freedom Town Hall, 16 Elm Street starting at 3 PM on Saturday March 21. Light refreshments and community conversation will follow. Throughout the year, the Freedom Historical Society will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with special programs to ensure that New Hampshire’s rich heritage remains a vital part of our history.
