ADVANCE October 2025

Celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution with Friends of Iowa PBS. This exclusive tour starts where it all began—in Boston—with stops in Lexington and Concord where the famous “shot heard around the world” was fired. We’ll take in Revolutionary history in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and end in Williamsburg, Virginia. Renew that spirit of American patriotism with us as we eat in his toric taverns, walk the paths of our forefathers, and hear the stories of those who dreamed of this great nation.

In addition to great new programs, you can stream popular classic British dramas like these on Iowa PBS Passport. Start watching them today! In the Footsteps of the American Revolution Tour August 22–30, 2026
