How did residents of a colonial capital navigate life during a war that tore apart neighborhoods, split families, and fractured entire communities? The Delaware Public Archives will explore this question during their upcoming educational presentation.
On Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 10:30 a.m., the archives will present their complimentary First Saturday Program titled “Dover During the Revolution.” Margaret Raubacher Dunham will lead the discussion.
The program will examine how Dover functioned as much more than just a modest colonial settlement during the Revolutionary period. The city served dual roles as the county seat and as an emerging center of government operations.
