In 2025 and 2026, Massachusetts 250 will commemorate the many battles across the state that led to America’s independence. Experience the birthplace of American Liberty, where history was made, and the future was forged. In Massachusetts, we are embracing our history, the untold and little-known stories; we are celebrating our independence and innovations from the past 250 years. Join us – from the hills of the Berkshires to the Blackstone Valley, from the North and South Shore to the Cape and the islands – as we commemorate big events and untold stories and celebrate the revolutions still to come.

What were the aims of each side, what obstacles were in the way of achieving them, and how was the situation different at the end of the year?
