Good morning, Philadelphia. We are delighted to have yet another day here in Philadelphia in 1776 for “The Pursuit of History: The Road to Independence.” This morning, author Richard Vague talks to our group about financing the Revolutionary War. Later this morning: @APhilosSociety. This afternoon: @ConstitutionCtr. In early November, we are headed to Trenton for “The British Empire Stikes Back.” Planning for Trenton began months ago.

@WalkBostonHist Paul Revere did the engraving for the masthead, with Columbia holding a staff topped by a Phrygian cap—a Liberty cap.

American Antiquarian Society has the original of Isaiah Thomas' Massachusetts Spy. Who did the header "Massachusetts Spy?" Free voucher for our smartphone Tours for the correct answer. Reply in X. PS, original printed papers from 1900 or early found there. Visit Weds, @ 3

Our dinner tonight in Carpenters’ Hall, with guests from across the country, joined by some distinguished individuals from 1776.

And the evening is just beginning!

One of the hallmarks of our series, The Pursuit of History for America’s 250th, is the outstanding presenters and the interaction and discussion that occurs with our small group. Here, a follow up question to Dr. Jane Calvert, the Founding Director and Chief Editor of the John Dickinson Writings Project during The Pursuit of History: The Road to Independence going on now in Philadelphia (and sold out months ago).

.@Boston1775 opens “The Pursuit of History: The Road to Independence” in @ChristChurchPHL Neighborhood House. Guests came from across the country to Philadelphia for our three-day “deep dive” into the events of 250 years ago—Including from TX, MI, IL, AZ, CA, OH, VA, MD, KS, as well as from throughout the Northeast.

We are headed to Trenton in early November. Registration hasn’t opened yet. And after Trenton, two more cities every year through 2033 as we take a deep dive into history where it happened. Here’s the complete list and a link to sign up to be notified when registration opened. (Philadelphia sold out within 2 days of opening registration late last year). thepursuitofhistory.org/America250/

For all our friends attending the sold out “The Pursuit of History: The Road to Independence” today, the glass door on the left is the entrance. There is parking down the alley on the right.

@TammiMinoski Looking forward to seeing you and everyone else who has come from across the country for this very special weekend.

Goodnight Old City. See you tomorrow. #philly
