George Washington: The Will to Win and Conquering Adversity Join us for Steven Campbell’s presentation about our first president. This lecture will discuss George Washington before the Revolutionary War and his time as a surveyor. Washington during this time journeyed through and surveyed Clarke County which was formally Frederick County during the 1700’s. See how Washington evolved from a young officer to our nation’s first Commander-in-Chief. This event can be subject to change due to COVID.
