About Kim Burdick

Kim Burdick is one of Delaware’s best-known communicators. In 2008, she was named Chevalier l’Ordre des Palmes académiques by the French government for her work commemorating French assistance in the American Revolution. In demand as a speaker and consultant on history and historic preservation issues, Kim’s recent book, Revolutionary Delaware, received first place in the Delaware Press Association competition. Several of her articles on the American Revolution can be found online at https://allthingsliberty.com/author/kim-burdick/. From 2003 to 2009, Kim served as National Project Director of the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route (now W3R-NHT). Because that route starts in Newport, she has good ties with several Rhode Islanders, including Norm Desmarais, Roseanna Gorham, Don. N. Hagist, and Christian McBurney.
