Local history buffs, don’t miss this unique and animated presentation narrating the Revolutionary War battles that took place in Chester County.
As part of a multi-award winning County project, sponsored by the National Park Service and the American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP), Sean Moir, a Chester County Geographic Information System (GIS) Analyst, spent three years researching, mapping, and animating the conflicts of the 1777 British invasion of Philadelphia, specifically the Battle of Brandywine and the Paoli Massacre. Combining his software and GIS skills with his personal interest in history, Moir has created groundbreaking animated battle maps detailing the troop movement that took place in Chester County during the Revolutionary War.
Moir’s research has also helped to produce an 18th century road map of the region. With the help of countless volunteers, the project is driving the completion of fourteen municipal historic resource surveys for the Chester County Historic Resource Atlas project.
Sean Moir is a Tredyffrin Township resident and current chair of the township’s Park and Recreation Board.
