About
On April 21, 2025, Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. invite you to gather with us to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which took place on April 19, 1775. At this commemoration, we will also honor the winner of the 2025 Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award and present the Museum's new exhibition, Path to Liberty: The Emergence of a Nation.
The Reception begins at 6:30 p.m. and includes brief remarks from the author at Fraunces Tavern Museum. Dinner will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Bissell Room of Fraunces Tavern Restaurant and includes a full lecture from the author, Q&A, and award presentation.
The Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award is presented annually to the author of the best newly published work on the American Revolutionary War that combines original scholarship, insight, and good writing. This year's winner is George Washington’s Momentous Year: Twelve Months that Transformed the Revolution—Vol. 1: The Philadelphia Campaign, July to December 1777 by Gary Ecelbarger.
Commemorating the United States Semiquincentennial, the Museum's newest upcoming exhibition, Path to Liberty: The Emergence of a Nation, will be a chronological, multi-year exhibition telling the history of the American Revolution from 1775 to 1783. With a distinctive focus on what occurred in New York State and the surrounding areas, the first segment of the exhibition will focus on the years 1775 to 1776.
