250 Years Ago 2027 Wall Calendar, American Revolution 1777, Large Print

Two hundred fifty years ago, 1777 was the year the young United States learned it could win. This 2027 wall calendar follows that year month by month, 250 years later to the day.

Each month opens with a picture page: a public-domain painting, engraving or document from the period, and a large-print story of what happened that month in 1777:
- Washington's victory at Princeton
- the British raid on Danbury and the Battle of Ridgefield, Connecticut
- the Flag Resolution of June 14, 1777
- Saratoga and Burgoyne's surrender
- the Articles of Confederation
- the march into Valley Forge

On the date grid, a red star marks 50 events on the exact day they happened 250 years ago: Brandywine on September 11, Burgoyne's surrender on October 17, Valley Forge on December 19, and more. Every date was checked against the National Park Service, the Library of Congress, the American Battlefield Trust, Mount Vernon and the National Archives.
