What was happening in and around the Ohio Country about 250 years ago?

With the 250th anniversary of the United States upon us in 2026, this recorded quarterly webinar series will feature diverse perspectives about what the future state of Ohio looked like and what was happening here in Ohio during the lead up to the United States declaring its independence from Britain in 1776 and beyond. Help us “spill the tea” on the Revolution from a decidedly Ohio-centric perspective.

Join host Todd Kleismit, Executive Director of America 250-Ohio and a group of experts as they explore topics like: What the French and Indian War was about?; Proclamation of 1763; French/British/Tribal interests; squatters; clash of culture; Neolin; The Moravians and Schoenbrunn; how were prisoners treated?; “Pontiac’s War”; “lawless banditti”; Lord Dunmore’s War; Fort Gower Resolves; how Revolutionary events in the east affected the Ohio Country.
