SUMMARY:Reenactment of the Battle of Lexington
DESCRIPTION:The Lexington Minute Men will conduct the 250th Anniversary Reenactment of the Civilian Evacuation of the Battle of Lexington and the Battle of Lexington on the Lexington Battle Green on Saturday\, April 19\, 2025. \nAccording to the Lexington History Museums\, on the night of April 18\, 1775\, over 700 British soldiers were sent from Boston to Concord to destroy a store of ammunition and other supplies for an anticipated war. As dawn approached on the fateful following morning\, the town militia of Lexington stood in anxious anticipation to stand in their way. The two groups squared off on the town common\, a single\, mysterious shot rang out\, and the British soldiers opened fire. When the smoke cleared\, eight Americans lay dead\, another 10 were wounded\, and a war for independence had begun. \nEach year\, the Town of Lexington and a dedicated corps of reenactors recreate this event in real time on its original site. This year\, the event will take place on the exact anniversary of the battle. \nThe passionate and committed groups of reenactors muster around 5 a.m.\, and the bell in the Belfry will ring and the Battle will commence at 5:15 a.m. \nAttendees should arrive early!

SUMMARY:Townsend's Re-enactment of the March to Concord
DESCRIPTION:We invite YOU to join us in re-enacting part of the Townsend Minutemen’s March to Concord. \nOn April 19 1775 a cannon was fired on the Town Common to summon the Townsend Minutemen; word had just been received that the British regulars had marched on Concord to capture the arms and ammunition which the local militia had collected there. \n73 Townsend men assembled and marched to Concord that afternoon. \nThere were two companies -the North Company\, commanded by Captain Samuel Douglas\, and the South Company\, commanded by Captain James Hosley. \nIn honor and memory of these 73 Townsend Minutemen we will fire a cannon\, calling all to “arms”. We will then “march” down the Squannacook River Rail Trail to the Reed Homestead\, where there will be activities\, refreshments and a short presentation about Townsend’s history. The Townsend Historical Society will also provide 73 wooden muskets to march with and keep as souvenirs – first come first served!
