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:Newburyport's Road to Revolution Part VI - Bunker Hill: Heroes & Cowards
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Newburyport’s Road to Revolution Part VI – Bunker Hill: Heroes and Cowards! In this closing lecture of the Newburyport’s Road to Revolution series\, join historian and author Alexander Cain for an exploration of the first engagement in which Newbury(port) troops play a significant role – for good or ill. While some local commanders distinguished themselves\, others were disgraced\, drawing the ire of George Washington himself. \nThe Battle of Bunker Hill was transformative for Newburyport\, testing the mettle of the rebels\, and setting the scene for the brutal years ahead. Using never-before-seen records and objects from the collection of the Museum of Old Newbury\, we will learn how Newburyport and Essex County people experienced this bloody encounter and its aftermath.
