Local History Presented by Redoubt Productions

Explore the history of the Ligonier Valley through this curated playlist from Redoubt Productions, an American history video channel available on YouTube.

Many of the featured presentations were recorded at the Ligonier Valley Library, while others take viewers to historic sites, battlefields, cemeteries, museums, and landmarks throughout western Pennsylvania and beyond.
