We’re delighted to finally be able to officially announce that last summer, the production company for Ken Burns documentaries, Florentine Films, came to us asking to film a segment of their upcoming documentary on the American Revolution at the Old Schoolhouse in Mount Holly.

Naturally, we said, of course!

The segment will feature pieces of from our collections at the Old Schoolhouse, which are incredible examples of material culture related to education in the 18th century. Burns wished to stress how colonists in British America felt about education and its importance, and what better place to film on location than in the oldest one-room schoolhouse in New Jersey, which still stands on tis original foundation.

To be released in anticipation of the America250 anniversary (1776-2026), The American Revolution airs on PBS starting November 16th, and clips from the Old Schoolhouse will be featured in Episode 4. We hope you will join us in tuning in later this year. More information about the documentary series can be found online at pbs.org/kenburns/the-american-revolution/
