The Historical Significance of Charles Thomson and Timothy Matlack

  • Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church 916 S. Swanson St. Philadelphia, PA, 19147 United States (map)

Explore the contributions of Charles Thomson and Timothy Matlack, whose administrative and intellectual work was essential to the American Revolution yet largely overlooked in traditional stories. By tracing their intertwined careers, Michael Teti will highlight how the Revolution depended not only on celebrated leaders but also on the steady, often invisible labor that made independence possible. Admission is $12, which includes a drink ticket for a beverage of your choice (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Advance tickets are available at a discounted rate of $10 each until the day before the program. This program will take place inside the church sanctuary, followed by a reception in Riverside Hall. For a modest donation, you can taste delicious gourmet desserts paired with wine, coffee or tea.
