Historical analyst Jason French from BCM to deliver comprehensive insights about the War of 1812 during the August 12 History Hour in NKY.
The Behringer-Crawford Museum is set to host an engaging virtual event, "Revolution on the Ohio: 60 Years of Conflict and Settlement West of the Alleghenies," presented by Jason French, the Curator of Collections at the museum. This program, scheduled for August 12, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., promises to delve into the complex and often tumultuous history of the Ohio region west of the Allegheny Mountains spanning over six decades.
Jason French, with his MA in Public/Applied History from Northern Kentucky University and BSS in Interpretive History from Ohio University, brings history to life with his insight and enthusiasm. Before joining the Behringer-Crawford Museum, he was the Coordinator of Costume Interpretation at the Cincinnati Museum Center. Since 2017, he has been sharing Northern Kentucky's rich history with the public at the Behringer-Crawford Museum.
The program will stream live on BCM's Facebook page, offering an opportunity for a wide audience to participate. For those wishing to join the NKY History Hour event via Zoom, registration is required.
The Ohio River Valley served as a battleground for ideas, identities, and ambitions during a period spanning from the 1750s to the War of 1812. Many conflicts in the region during this time were played out on a deeply personal level, with unsanctioned groups fighting vendetta-fueled wars against hated and misunderstood foes and their families.
French will guide viewers through a nuanced look at this turbulent era, focusing on struggles over land, identity, and survival that played out far from traditional battlefields. The program will explore the complex and often overlooked stories of the lands along the Ohio River and Northern Kentucky during the aforementioned time period.
