NMAD hosts a conversation on how Benjamin Franklin secured an alliance with the French during the American Revolution.

As our nation’s first diplomat, we explored what skills Franklin used to gain the trust, confidence, and partnership of the French government as a representative of a newly formed nation. One of our museum’s oldest artifacts was a product of this alliance. Find out what it is and get the inside scoop on conserving this piece of history!

Join our Pubic Historian, Dr. Alison Mann, and our Collections Manager, Eric Duyck, for a conversation about the United States’ first alliance and the diplomacy that made it happen.
