About the Event:

Caught between the Renaissance and Reformation of the 1500s and the Revolutions of the 1700s, the 1600s are often overlooked in public historical memory. However, the 17th century was one of intricate conflicts and far-reaching colonization that colored the worldview of the Pilgrims. Discover the turbulent events and fascinating ideas that created the Forgotten Age of War and Empire.
