SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The Studebaker National Museum and the History Museum are presenting a special program exploring the legacy of the American Revolution. 

The event will feature a screening of selected segments from Ken Burns' acclaimed documentary The American Revolution, which examines the ideas, conflicts, and sacrifices that gave birth to the United States.

The screening will be followed by two expert presentations: The History Museum’s Archivist, Travis Childs, will offer a talk on local Revolutionary War veterans, and Studebaker National Museum Curator, Kyle Sater, will explore the Museum's surprising connection to Revolutionary War hero the Marquis de Lafayette.

Guests will have the opportunity to view Lafayette's Barouche — the oldest vehicle in the Studebaker Collection.

The carriage was commissioned by the US Government for the French general's celebrated Farewell Tour of America in 1824, making it one of the most historically significant objects in the region.

Registration is encouraged for this event but not required.
