How much of what we learned about the American Revolution was fact, and how much was myth or only part of the story?
Many of the generalities learned through years about the American Revolution included partial truths or incomplete bits of information. Come hear Dr. Hewett as he examines some familiar myths and what evidence actually supports.
Tom Hewett, BBA, MBA, PhD is the President of the Mount Vernon Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and Chair of the Education Committee for the Georgia Society Sons of the American Revolution. He is a history reenactor and history buff studying the American Revolution and other wars of America's past.

Thanks to all who attended our September 15th Historical Society Program
History of Ferries & Bridges of Johns Creek
Our September 15th meeting drew a wonderful turnout of both new and familiar faces. All heard the fascinating history of the evolution of river crossings along the Johns Creek stretch of the Chattahoochee, including controversies, diasters, and some of the human backstories.
Historical Society board members Lisa Lake and Bob Stevens presented the program. Joan Compton created the PowerPoint show using information from years of research and discoveries.
