In January 2026, AHP once again is a corporate sponsor of the annual Robert Burns Celebration in Reno Nevada, hosted by the Nevada Society of Scottish Clans (“NSSC”), honoring one of the greatest Scottish poets in history. This annual event is a “blow out” evening banquet, featuring the full array of Scottish traditional entertainment, food (including haggis!), raffle items, and most importantly, a free scotch whisky tasting. AHP supports the NSSC because of the major impact Scottish-Americans have had on our shared American history, including many famous political leaders such as Presidents James Madison and James Monroe, and Founding Fathers Patrick Henry and Alexander Hamilton.

On February 28, 2026, AHP will host a special luncheon at the Governor’s Mansion in Carson City Nevada, where we will be treated to a performance by noted Chautauqua Kim Harris. Kim will reenact the life story of Elizabeth Van Lew, who lived in the heart of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia during the American Civil War, but whose sympathies were with the Union. She became an extremely effective spy for the Union Army, and was later lauded by General Ulysses S. Grant for her contributions to the Union Army’s victory over Robert E. Lee and his Army of the Potomac in 1865. Ms. Harris’ performance will tell the story of Van Lew’s dangerous work, and her amazing courage. Registration for this special lunch will open in December 2025. Admission is $30 per person, including a very nice plated lunch.

Bacon’s Rebellion: The First American Revolution
2026-05-09
On May 9, 2026, AHP’s President Jay Dickey will give a talk in Denver, Colorado on one of the major events in the early years of the Virginia Colony. Jay’s talk is entitled “Bacon’s Rebellion: The First American Revolution.” Jay will deliver his remarks to the First Colorado Company of the Jamestowne Society. 2026 marks the 350th anniversary of Bacon’s Rebellion, which took place in 1676. Bacon was a political leader of the nascent Virginia Company, and who became the chief antagonist against the Colony’s Governor, William Berkeley. The Governor’s failed leadership provoked Bacon and his allies to mount an armed rebellion, which ultimately led to the burning of the Jamestown Fort. Bacon himself was an articulate spokesperson who advocated for a more democratic government, and more rigorous defense of the Colony of repeated Indian attacks. Bacon died suddenly in the midst of the warfare, and the rebellion was crushed.
