Tavern Talk - In Common Cause: Delaware’s Homefront in the Revolutionary War

• Monday, January 12, 2026 @ 6:00 pm
• Wilmington Brew Works, Wilmington, DE

Join the Delaware Public Archives and First State Heritage Park for our Colonial Tavern Nights! Staff from First State Heritage Park will be onsite in period costume with historical exhibitions and activities, and the Delaware Public Archives will be giving one of their Tavern Talks:

Despite its small size, Delaware made significant contributions to the cause of American independence—far more than a single battle or a midnight ride. During the Revolutionary War, Delaware evolved from being part of a larger colony into an independent state, a transformation driven by the sacrifices and efforts of its citizens and civic leaders. These individuals gave their time, resources, and even their personal safety to support the common cause of American freedom.

Join us as we explore the challenges faced and contributions made by the men and women of Revolutionary Delaware, preserved in the records of the Delaware Public Archives.
