Footprints in the Snow: General Washington's Army of 1776

Event Dates

Jun 18 2026

Location

Berks County Heritage Center

1102 Red Bridge Road

Reading, PA 19605

Join historian Michael Jesberger as he recounts the very real human story of those men who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence. This was the year when the entire American cause was depending on their success, without which all possibility for independence would have been crushed and the sacred ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to simply words on a worthless piece of paper. This is the story of Americans in the ranks of the army, men of every size, shape, and color, simple farmers, teachers, tradesmen, and mere boys turned into soldiers. These were the men that stayed with the Army and did not quit. They stayed because their commanding officer, General George Washington, did not quit!
