In January, 1781, General Benedict Arnold led British forces on a raid of the new Virginian state capital of Richmond. In just twenty-four hours, the British drove off American defenders, destroyed supplies, and burned several industries. While Richmond is well known for its Civil War history, this Revolutionary War battle and occupation has been largely overlooked. Join military historian Bert Dunkerly as he discuss Arnold's raid and its impact on Virginia's war effort!

Tickets $10, recording option $5. Register now!
