SUMMARY:From Bunker Hill to Penn’s Hill: The 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Park Service at Adams National Historical Park on Saturday\, June 14\, for a special event following the footsteps of the Adams family as they witnessed the Battle of Bunker Hill 250 years ago during the American Revolution. This event will be held at the Adams Farm at Penn’s Hill (John Adams and John Quincy Adams Birthplaces)\, located at 141 Franklin St.\, Quincy\, MA. \nIn the Footsteps of the Adamses: Penn’s Hill Guided Walks – 9:30am and 11:00am \nJoin park rangers for guided walks to the top of Penn’s Hill. Walks begin at the Adams Farm and proceed uphill to the Abigail Adams Cairn. There\, stand alongside Abigail Adams\, portrayed by Audrey Stuck-Girard\, as she tells of the danger and distress that the Adamses experienced before and during the Battle of Bunker Hill. The walk is half a mile uphill\, with uneven terrain\, limited shade\, steep inclines\, and traffic crossings. Attendees are advised to bring water and dress appropriately for early summer weather. \n“The decisive Day is come on which the fate of America depends”: Aftermath of the Battle – 1:00-3:00pm \nExperience the aftermath of the battle and its effect on the Adamses and their community with special programming at the Adams Farm at Penn’s Hill. Step into the moment of uncertainty faced by the household following the battle. Converse with Abigail Adams\, but don’t be taken aback if she mistakes you for some of the many family members\, neighbors\, in-laws\, servants\, messengers\, and children underfoot at the farm in June 1775. Meet a militiaman\, portrayed by Michael Lepage\, traveling the Old Coast Road and learn more about the battle from his perspective. \nLegacy and Commemoration: The Adamses\, Quincy\, and the Battle of Bunker Hill 250 Years Later – 3:30pm \nReflect on the legacy of the Battle of Bunker Hill during a special ranger talk on the grounds of the Adams Farm at Penn’s Hill.
