The David McCullough Prize for Excellence in American Public History Reception and Award Ceremony

The Carpenters’ Company of Philadelphia presents the third David McCullough Prize for Excellence in American Public History at the Museum of the American Revolution. The award ceremony follows a special cocktail reception on the grounds of Carpenters’ Hall, where The Carpenters’ Company will posthumously induct David McCullough as an Honorary Member. In its first award year since the passing of its namesake, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough, the prestigious honor celebrates individuals and organizations whose work engages the public and significantly impacts their understanding of American history.

This year’s award will be presented to Christy S. Coleman, Executive Director of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. The 2023 David McCullough Prize for Teaching, honoring educators in the Philadelphia area, will be presented to Brittni Jennings, M.Ed., a teacher of African-American History at Philadelphia’s Constitution High School.

The reception is from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with the dinner to follow at 7 p.m. Business attire is required for all dinner guests.
