Supporting scholarship and promoting popular understanding of the American Revolution is central to the work of the American Revolution Institute. The Institute welcomes distinguished scholars and authors to share their insights and discuss their latest research with the public at Anderson House through lectures and book signings. The Institute also hosts a variety of other events throughout the year, including special tours, object talks, concerts, tastings and children’s programs. Many of the events we offer are free and do not require a reservation.
Due to the public health emergency, Anderson House, our headquarters in Washington, D.C., is temporarily closed to members, Associates, visitors and volunteers until further notice. During this time, tours of the mansion, on-site public programs, and in-person teacher workshops are suspended. Our library is also closed to on-site researchers until further notice.
