<blockquote>In May, Vienna250 continues to march towards the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Mark your calendars for Broadwater Day&nbsp;on May 17 at 2:00&nbsp;beneath the water tower at Tapawingo Rd and Frederick St SW as we learn about some of Vienna's residents of the time.&nbsp; Rose Powhatan, a descendant of local indigenous tribes, will be one of the featured speakers, and we'll also hear voices from the past including one that represents an enslaved woman and another of a local farmer.&nbsp; The Sons of the Revolution will have a musket volley and the Daughters of the American Revolution will bring formal greetings.&nbsp; At the conclusion of the event, we'll walk across the street to the Broadwater graves for a wreath laying.&nbsp;&nbsp;On May 31, the Vienna250/Bards Alley Author Series continues with Derek Baxter and his new book “The Forgotten World Way: Exploring the Secret History of the American Revolution, from Spain to India and Back Again”. What does Bunker Hill have in common with a jungle in Central America, a fort in India, and the towering Rock of Gibraltar? The answer―that they were all battlefields in the Revolutionary War―might astonish you. Blending modern experiences with historical research, Derek Baxter embarks on an adventure-filled quest across three continents, uncovering the truth behind the American Revolution and revealing the unlikely group of nations that united to take on the British Empire. Books may be preordered at Bards Alley.&nbsp; &nbsp;Be sure to save the date for&nbsp;June 14 from 12:00 - 4:00&nbsp;for the Colonial Faire &amp; Ice Cream Social and&nbsp;June 20&nbsp;to hear&nbsp;Gayle Jessup White speak about her book, “Reclamation: Sally Hemings, Thomas Jefferson, and a Descendant’s Search for Her Family’s Lasting Legacy.” For more information on upcoming events, visit&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://historicvienna.org/Vienna250" rel="nofollow noopener">historicvienna.org/Vienna250</a></blockquote>
