SUMMARY:Protest and Promise - The American Revolution in Lexington
DESCRIPTION:After years of tension between Great Britain and its North American colonies\, a skirmish on the town green in Lexington\, Massachusetts broke long-held bonds and ignited the American Revolutionary War. In an unprecedented moment in 1775\, ordinary people in Lexington made extraordinary choices. An entire community—women\, men\, black\, white\, young\, old\, enslaved\, and free—helped spark a revolution. Two hundred and fifty years later\, Americans continue to remember April 19\, 1775\, as a moment when everyday people shaped history. This exhibition explores the events of April 19\, 1775\, with images\, objects\, and an in-depth look at this watershed event and how it has been remembered.

SUMMARY:“A STATE OF REBELLION” PART II: HONORING THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, June 17th\, at 7pm at the Adams Academy\, 8 Adams Street\, Quincy Historical Society will host the second part of a program exploring life in Braintree during the first pivotal months of the American Revolution. The City of Quincy’s Directory of Historic Heritage and Resources\, Bob Damon\, and Quincy Historical Society’s Executive Director Emeritus Ed Fitzgerald\, will be joined by New England Slavery Historian Kerima M. Lewis Ph.D to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. \nDrawing from newly compiled archival records\, this program will follow local commanders like Captains Elihu Adams\, Silas Wild\, and Seth Turner and their men from the April 19th alarm to their deployments as Braintree’s “eight-months” companies at Prospect Hill and Fort No. 2 and their part in the preparations for the Battle of Bunker Hill. \nThe presentation will also uncover lesser-known events like the Grape Island skirmish and examine the deep tensions within the town—including documented loyalist families who stood on the other side of the conflict. With vivid eyewitness accounts\, such as Abigail Adams’s letters from the Braintree home front\, and detailed muster records from the Massachusetts Archives\, this program offers a richly detailed portrait of a Massachusetts coastal community at war. \nThis event\, part of the Historical Society’s ongoing celebrations of Quincy400\, is open to all and free to attend.
