The Von Steuben Architect of American Independence exhibition shines a long‑overdue light on Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, the brilliant military strategist whose training transformed the Continental Army
 and helped secure America’s independence. Though history often obscures it,
von Steuben was a gay man whose life and legacy were shaped by the queer
networks that supported him.
