History & Hops

Exploring the American Revolution

Join us at Common Roots Albany Outpost for an informal, engaging evening exploring  the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution! Enjoy a drink while hearing from New York State Museum experts as they bring history to life. Dr. Michael Lucas, Curator of Historical Archaeology, will discuss the discovery of the World Trade Center Ship, a Revolutionary War-era vessel unearthed at Ground Zero. Aaron Noble, Senior Curator of Political and Military History, will highlight key objects from the museum’s collection, and Devin Lander, New York State Historian, will explore how the 250th commemoration connects the past to present-day events. It’s the perfect mix of history, conversation, and community!

This fun, interactive program is free to attend. Food and drink are not included but are available for individual purchase at the venue.
