My research is dedicated to historic preservation of material culture and buildings and public memory of American Revolution figures.

General Charles Lee of the American Revolution

In this paper I examine the life and public memory and General Charles Lee. I determine what other historians have said of Lee from 1804 to 2014 and how the public opinion of Lee shifts over time. I also look at what physical memories of Lee remains including his house Prato Rio that is listed on the National Register as well as various historical markers located across New Jersey and New York.

Women of the American Revolution

The American Revolution is long remembered for the great men that created and led the fight towards independence, but what about women. In this paper I research the lives of women from the American Revolution in an attempt to highlight their efforts and contributions to history.

The Revolutionary Lees: Historic Architecture

This research paper is an architectural history of homes and buildings associated with Charles Lee, Henry Lee, and Richard Henry Lee. All three men are important to the American Revolution and this paper aims to identify which important buildings associated with them still stand today and the architectural changes made to them.
