Pershing Lecture Series: The Wars Before the War

This event is primarily an adult lecture and is not explicitly positioned as family-friendly. However, here's a description appropriate for parents considering it: The National WWI Museum and Memorial is hosting a talk that explores how America's approach to large-scale warfare developed from lessons learned during the Civil War. Dr. Mitch Klingenberg will examine the distinctive American military strategies and theories that emerged from that conflict and later shaped how wars were fought. This lecture is part of the museum's Pershing Lecture Series and offers adults and older teens interested in military history an opportunity to deepen their understanding of how historical conflicts influence each other. The evening provides a chance to learn from an expert speaker in a museum setting rich with related exhibits and artifacts.
