This week on the Rivertowns Dispatch Podcast we spoke with Revolutionary Westchester 250 (RW250) President Constance Kehoe. RW250 is a charitable not-for-profit corporation organized to further the purpose of the Semiquincentennial Commission by providing for the observance and commemoration of the pivotal role of Westchester County in the American Revolution, the founding of the United States, and related events. We discussed why Westchester is often overlooked in the story of the Revolutionary War despite playing a pivotal role, how to balance teaching the good and the bad from US history, and the value of knowing history in a time when the country is more divided than ever.
