About

Join the Roanoke History Museum for an 18th Century Lecture with Dave Robbins on "The Battle of Point Pleasant and Lord Dunmore's War," on June 18 at 2pm at the Historical Society of Western Virginia.

Highlighting the narrative of Capt. John Stewart of Greenbrier County, Virginia, Dave Robbins will speak on Andrew Lewis, William Fleming, and other area natives and their roles in the Battle of Point Pleasant on October 10, 1774. This single, decisive battle of Lord Dunmore's War has been argued as the first battle of the Revolution, and shaped how some Native Americans sided during the Revolution.

Regular museum admission applies - $6 for adults, $5 for seniors or military, $3 for kids 12-17, under 12 free. Museum members receive free entry to both the museum and the lecture.

This lecture is made possible in part by a grant from VA250 Commission in partnership with Virginia Humanities.
