Formerly known as the Women in War Symposium, the event features renowned authors and historians presenting on Revolutionary War history.  This year, topics related to Henry Knox and his Noble Train of Artillery have been added to coincide with the 250th anniversary of that historic event, which will be commemorated later this year.  Additionally, book vendors, augmented reality exhibits and an 18th century artillery display will be available throughout the day.
