SUMMARY:Lincoln Day
DESCRIPTION:Hingham Historical Society kicks off the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution with Lincoln Day 2025 – a community celebration of civic engagement. Lincoln Day celebrates civic engagement and reflects on the lives and legacies of General Benjamin Lincoln (1733-1810) and President Abraham Lincoln (1809 – 1865). Born more than 70 years and 1\,000 miles apart yet with shared Hingham roots\, General Lincoln and President Lincoln served their country in revolutionary ways. They took up leadership roles in times of extreme political and social polarization when questions about the meaning of freedom\, independence\, and liberty divided households\, communities\, and the nation itself. As the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution dawns\, Lincoln Day asks us to consider how we can be inspired by the past to serve our communities’ futures. \nLincoln Day activities will begin at 10:00 AM with a muster of the Hingham Militia Company at the Hingham Memorial Bell Tower (90 Main Street) and wreath-laying ceremonies in Hingham Cemetery at the gravesites of General Benjamin Lincoln and Massachusetts’ Civil War governor\, John Albion Andrew. The speaking program will begin at 11:00 AM at Old Ship Church (90 Main Street) featuring a keynote address from Jonathan Lane\, Executive Director of Revolution 250\, as well as remarks by state and local representatives and the presentation of winning essays from the Hingham Middle School Lincoln Day Essay Contest. The Military Order of the Loyal Legion\, the 22nd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Company\, Hingham’s Scout Troop 1\, and other civic organizations will also participate. All Lincoln Day events are free and open to the public. \nAs part of the Lincoln Day observation\, the Hingham Historical Society’s Benjamin Lincoln House will be open for FREE guided tours from 1:00 – 4:00 PM. Reservations are not required. For more information about the Benjamin Lincoln House\, please visit https://hinghamhistorical.org.
