Discover the Past: Germans in the American Revolution

In honor of German American Heritage Month and America 250, join us as we explore the fascinating story of Germans who fought in the American Revolution. Whether serving in the Continental Army or as mercenary's for the British, Germans made significant contributions, both to the war's eventual outcome, in shaping early American folklore, and American westward settlement, including here in St Charles County, where some of the earliest American residents were "Pennsylvania Dutch".
