The Daniel Boone Homestead Associates will offer their annual fall lecture series at the Daniel Boone Homestead, 400 Daniel Boone Road, Birdsboro. This year, historians and scholars will share their knowledge on topics related to the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution. The series will take place in the DeTurk Education Center. It is presented and funded by the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates.

The lecture series will include "The American Revolution in Pennsylvania" on Sunday, Sept. 13, at 2 p.m. Historian Aaron Sullivan will explore the questions "Is it possible to sit out a violent revolution?" and "What happens when neutrality isn't an option?" in the context of the American Revolution in Pennsylvania. The presentation will look closely at the British military occupation of Philadelphia and the often tragic plight of the many Americans who struggled to survive the war without picking a side.

Sullivan is an author and historian living near Philadelphia. He teaches history at Rider University in Lawrenceville, N.J., and his book "The Disaffected" garnered the Book of the Year Award from the American Revolutionary Roundtable of Philadelphia. Sullivan received his doctorate in history from Temple University in Philadelphia in 2014 and his bachelor's degree in computer science from LeTourneau University in 2004.
