Join us on Saturday September 23rd for the first Revolutionary Speaker Series of the season for a lecture given by Andrew Outten: “From a Plan Drawn on the Spot”: William Faden and the Battle of Brandywine.

“William Faden was one of the most influential British mapmakers in the late eighteenth century. Although Faden created a map of the Battle of Brandywine in 1778, he later produced a significantly altered map in 1784. Drawing from his recent research, Andrew Outten examines the motives behind the production of a later edition and the general complexities of map production in the eighteenth century. Please join us for this lecture, questions, and refreshments.

Andrew Outten is the historical programs manager of the Society of the Cincinnati and its American Revolution Institute in Washington, D.C. Prior to this, he was the museum educator for the Brandywine Battlefield Park Associates for nearly a decade and served as the chairman of the Brandywine Battlefield Task Force. For his contributions to the preservation and interpretation of the battle, Andrew Outten was awarded the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Historic Preservation Medal in September 2021.”
