As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, St. Luke’s invites you to explore the ideas that helped to shape the patriot cause. In the first lecture of our Summer Series, “Revolutionary Puritans,” Executive Director John Ericson looks at how Puritan beliefs about liberty and virtue influenced America in the 1770s.

In this article, John Ericson, Interim Executive Director, discusses upcoming events and plans for St. Luke’s Historic Church & Museum.

In this article, we discuss the dating of St. Luke’s church building. We will touch on several pieces of evidence that points to its circa 1685 completion date.

In this article, we discuss the 1782 Gnadenhutten Massacre and the violence that occurred against minority religious groups during the Colonial period and into our American Republic.

Today we throw around the terms propaganda and fake news rather zealously. But did you know that the first use of propaganda in the English language concerned the English Civil Wars? “Join us at St. Luke’s on Saturday, April 6, at 1 PM, where Public Historian Hunter Willis will present on this topic, ‘Born from Conflict: The Pamphlet Wars.'”

During a recent trip to England, St. Luke’s Education Department stopped by the Oliver Cromwell Museum in Huntingdon. During this visit, the Curator of the Cromwell Museum, Stuart Orme, shared his opinions about the man, the many myths associated with him, and more.
