We’re excited to launch Revolution@250, a special production of PreserveCast created in partnership with Preservation Maryland and the Maryland Center for History and Culture.
Hosted by Katie Caljean, President & CEO of the Maryland Center for History and Culture, and Nicholas Redding, host of PreserveCast and President & CEO of Preservation Maryland, this new series explores the enduring meaning of the American Revolution as we approach its 250th anniversary.
In 1818, John Adams reflected that the Revolution “was not a common Event,” arguing that it lived not only on battlefields, but “in the Minds and Hearts of the People.” Revolution@250 takes that idea seriously. The Revolution did not begin at Lexington and Concord, nor did it end with the Treaty of Paris. It was—and remains—a set of ideas that reshaped the globe.
In this special series, we’ll examine the revolutionary thinking sparked and accelerated by the self-evident idea that “all men are created equal,” and explore the bold, complicated, and ongoing consequences of that declaration.
Join us as we consider not just what happened 250 years ago—but how revolutionary ideas continue to shape our world today.
Episodes are posted across our social media platforms, available at www.preservecast.org, and podcast streaming platforms.
