AmRev360: A Family's Revolutionary Legacy with Denise Dennis
February 26, 2021How does knowing your family's history – particularly one with roots dating back to the Revolutionary era – shape your sense of self? How does a generations-long lineage including Black Revolutionary War veterans like Gershom Prince and Prince Perkins, and the surviving artifacts from their lives, remind all Americans of our shared heritage?
Denise Dennis, President & CEO of the Dennis Farm Charitable Land Trust, joined the latest episode of the Museum's AmRev360 series, hosted by Museum President & CEO Dr. R. Scott Stephenson, for a conversation about her rich, personal Revolutionary history; her work to preserve the historic, 153-acre Dennis Farm in the Endless Mountains of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania; and what it means to her to have her family’s powder horn – which belonged to Gershom Prince, a Black soldier who served and died in the Revolutionary War – on loan from the Luzerne County Historical Society to display at the Museum.
Denise Dennis is the President & CEO of the Dennis Farm Charitable Land Trust, which works to preserve a rare – and beautiful – historic and cultural resource in the Endless Mountains of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania.
