Ten Broeck Book Club: Albany in the Revolution

Join us for a special Ten Broeck Mansion book club celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States! Using noted historian Alice Kenney's classic Albany: Crossroads of Liberty (published for the nation's bicentennial celebration in 1976) as our starting point, we will explore this text together. Questions we will consider include: What was Albany's role in the American Revolution? What makes Albany such a unique American story? What is Albany's identity? How do museums and historians tell inclusive stories, drawing on new sources? Participants will be invited to search our online digitized resources, and suggest additions to Kenney's study, as more resources have become available in the 50 years since the book was published.
