SUMMARY:"Spies Among Us" year long exhibit opening on February 6th 2025
DESCRIPTION:“Spies Among Us” will open on Thursday\, February 6th at 10 a.m. during the museum’s first Thursday opening hours. We will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on February 6th and will be open every Thursday going forward from 10-4. We will also showcase the exhibit during our February Second Sunday Open House on Sunday\, February 9th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. \nThe exhibit will recall the story of General Gage’s spies who visited the Tavern in 1775\, explore examples of espionage on both sides\, and examine the many ways of spying that were used during the American Revolution. \nSpycraft played a pivotal role during the American Revolution\, with both the Continental Army and British forces using intelligence operations to gain strategic advantages. The Golden Ball Tavern and its proprietor Isaac Jones\, played host on a few occasions to British spies sent\, by General Thomas Gage\, to survey the towns that were scattered around the area from Boston to Worcester. This was just one of the British military’s tactics for keeping the Patriots in line. On the American side\, espionage was essential in countering the British military’s superior resources and manpower. \nThe spycraft of the American Revolution was marked by its ingenuity\, the use of civilian networks\, and the blending of military and civilian espionage tactics. Though it was often risky and unreliable\, intelligence-gathering operations played a critical role in the eventual success of the American cause\, allowing the Continental Army to take advantage of British vulnerabilities and ultimately secure victory. \nJoin us as we introduce our new exhibit and our new Thursday opening hours. The museum will continue to be open every second Sunday of the month for our Second Sunday Open House Tours and will now be open every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.\nWe look forward to welcoming you!

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.
