This April, The Boca Raton Historical Society is proud to present America250 Town Hall Talks reflecting and honoring American history and the contributions of all Americans!

On April 25, 2026, Historian Dr. Roger Smith will guide us through the military intelligence of the Revolution, for a morning of espionage!

Step into a world of coded messages, double agents, and dangerous deception.

In this compelling talk, historian Dr. Roger Smith explores a pivotal era when military intelligence was often unreliable and the information gathered by spies could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Long before modern surveillance, armies relied on rumor, intercepted letters, informants, and risky undercover missions to gain an edge over their enemies.

Discover how fragile intelligence networks shaped battlefield decisions, influenced commanders, and altered the course of war. From misinformation to masterful espionage, this lecture reveals the high-stakes world behind the scenes of military history.

Join us for an intriguing look at the shadow war that unfolded alongside the fighting.
