About this Event

Women of the Revolution: Untold Stories of Courage and Survival

The Second Lecture in a Four-Part Series with Dr. Roger Smith

An America 250 Town Hall Talk
Presented by The Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum and sponsored by the GOLS Foundation

Friday, April 24th

The Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum & Boca Raton Historical Society

In the second installment of his four-part series, Florida historian Dr. Roger Smith turns the spotlight on the often-overlooked experiences of women during the American Revolution.

Moving beyond the battlefield, this compelling lecture uncovers the stories of ordinary women — from every colony and across racial lines — whose lives were shaped by war. Facing displacement, violence, economic hardship, and political upheaval, these women endured extraordinary challenges while holding families and communities together.

Through powerful accounts and historical insight, Dr. Smith reveals how their resilience and sacrifices were essential to the Revolutionary era, even as their contributions went largely unrecognized.

Join us for an eye-opening exploration of courage, survival, and the human cost of revolution.

Tickets: Non-Refundable.

Parking: Free parking
