These material traces of a storied period in American history, have the potential to rewrite history. Although the last shots were fired over 250 years ago, traces of the American Revolution still surround us and the ideas that motivated the Revolutionary generation continue to echo today.<\/p>\n<p>$10 per person&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Programs are held at the Burlington County Historical Society\u2019s Campus.&nbsp;<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>Entrances are on both 457 High Street and 454 Lawrence Street <\/b><b>in Burlington, NJ.<br \/>\n<\/b><b>Please RSVP to 609-386-4773 or burlcohistsocprogram@verizon.net<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our programs are designed to engage visitors of all ages in exploring and discovering the past.
