George Washington: What Can We Learn from Him 250 Years Later?   

Most people know George Washington as the victorious general and first U.S. president—but there’s so much more to his story. This four-week course uncovers the man behind the myth: a self-made leader who helped hold a fragile new nation together. Explore his surprising entrepreneurial ventures, evolving relationships with Native Americans and enslaved people, and his bold use of espionage to outmaneuver the British. Through rich discussion and fresh insight, we’ll go beyond the cherry tree tale to discover how Washington’s complexity, vision, and strategy made lasting marks on American history.
