A signature souvenir volume celebrating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and exploring its impact and legacy in Virginia.

This highly illustrated publication marks the origins of a revolutionary new nation, focusing on the years 1775 and 1776, the events that preceded and followed, and the people who contributed to its formation. The book recognizes Virginians who have become famous for their role in shaping the new nation, including Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and spotlights the multitude of ordinary people who were living and acting in those extraordinary times. Combining compelling modes of presentation with historic artifacts, artwork, and documents, the volume emphasizes the central notion that Virginia’s history is America’s story: complex, diverse, and inspiring.

Publication accompanies an exhibition at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture, and the American Revolution Museum, Yorktown, VA.
