President's
Message
The goal of ARRTOP is to be the premier forum and organization in the
Philadelphia region concerning Revolutionary War era interests. Since its
inception, ARRTOP has touched upon and been active in all the aspects described
in its mission statement.
ARRTOP has committed itself to bringing to you and to the public at large a
wide variety of speakers, authors, researchers, and historians to share with us their research into the period of American history that has
influenced this country more than any other aspect of this nation's experience. I believe that we provide the highest quality of speakers on the American Revolution in the Philadelphia area.
ARRTOP is firmly committed to the goal of Revolutionary War era historical
preservation and heritage.
See you at the next meeting.
I respectfully remain your humble and most obedient servant,
John A. Nagy
