Centerville-Washington History January Speaker Series Program

Monthly Speaker Series

Kick off 2026 with a look at “Revolutionary War Soldiers in the Miami Valley,” by Andrew Lloyd on Tuesday, January 20, at 7 pm at the RecPlex West auditorium, 965 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd.

Their families originated from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, and more. They fought in a cause that took them from New England to Virginia, the Southern Campaign of General Greene, and the battlefields that brought forth the United States of America. Veterans of Valley Forge, Brandywine, and Yorktown lie at rest in Montgomery County, a county named after General Montgomery of the Continental Army, and adjacent to Greene County, named after Continental General Nathaniel Greene. This talk looks at those veterans, their links to Montgomery County, Oakwood, and Centerville, and their roles in the war that changed the continent. It aims to provide context for the incredible sacrifices and achievements of those individuals and highlight anecdotes from their journey to Ohio.

Andrew Lloyd retired from the Royal Air Force and held the position of Exchange Officer in the U.S. Air Force Sustainment Center. Colonel Lloyd now resides in Oakwood, OH. He has led many officer development tutorials on the battlefields of the Revolutionary War and Civil War, and helped found “Unsung Oakwood Heroes,” which promotes local residents whose impact affected positive world change.

This FREE presentation is open to the public. Reservations are not required. Donations welcome. Enjoy refreshments starting at 6:30 PM and the program from 7-8 PM in the auditorium. For more information, call Centerville-Washington History at 937-433-0123 or visit centervillewashingtonhistory.org.
