About

Join Library of Virginia historian Eric Johnson for an engaging history talk rooted in firsthand accounts of the Revolutionary era in Loudoun County.
Throughout the war and its aftermath, local residents of all backgrounds shared their stories via legislative petitions and narratives of their war service. These petitions and narratives - along with maps, wills, newspapers and other documents - are preserved at the Library of Virginia. Topics include religious liberty, wartime experience at home and in the service, and community issues navigated during a time of profound change.
