Revolutionary History

Museum visitors and history buffs were treated to the little-known story of the “Southern Campaign,” on July 23 at the Lake County Historical Society and Museum in Tavares. Historian Stewart Dunaway presented one aspect of the Revolutionary War that involved The British Southern Campaign. It was implemented, Stewart says, based on the idea that the southern colonists just north of here were very loyal to the Crown. He surmises that the campaign’s failure precipitated the end of the American Revolution.
