JEFFERSON — The Jefferson Historical Society has received support from New Hampshire Humanities to participate in US@250:Big Watch, a statewide series of community events based around a shared “watch” and discussion of a segment of “THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION,” a new film directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt.

The film screening and following facilitated discussion will be presented on Saturday, May 16, at 10:30 a.m., at the Jefferson Community Center. The featured segment from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, “The Spirit of Service,” explores service as a core American value, from the nation’s founding through to the present day – examining volunteerism, civic participation, public leadership, and more. Immediately after viewing the segment, expert facilitators will guide thoughtful conversations about “remembering together.
