About This Podcast
Explore the American Revolution in a whole new way as we delve into the stories that shaped a nation.
This multi-season podcast offers a fresh examination of the origins and impacts of the American Revolution. Produced as part of the VMHC’s 250th Initiative and as a companion to its marquee exhibition, Give Me Liberty: Virginia & The Forging of a Nation, this podcast is a must-listen resource as part of America’s milestone anniversary.
The show is a fascinating look at the people, ideas, and events that changed the world. Beyond familiar figures like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, Revolution Revisited™ will uncover the pivotal roles of lesser-known individuals, like Clementina Rind, in the burgeoning nation's quest for independence. Go behind the scenes with leading historians, authors, and other experts and learn about key artifacts at the VMHC that connect the ideals of the past with our world today.
