The Fries Rebellion film screening
followed by a Q&A with Jason Searock
Sunday, September 21 at 2:00 pm
Produced by the Lower Macungie Township Historical Society, The Fries Rebellion is a docudrama exploring the patriotic protests during the 1798-99 tax revolt throughout the Lehigh Valley. The Fries Rebellion and the corresponding places and events are shown through a teenage student's eyes in modern times. In the film, Lehigh Valley teenager Kayla experiences the protest against the Federalist government’s first Federal House Tax, led by patriotic Pennsylvania-German veterans of the American Revolution, and uncovers something important about herself along the way.
Events at the Moravian Historical Society are are supported, in part, with funding from the Hotel Tax Grant Program through the County of Northampton Department of Community & Economic Development.
