SUMMARY:Boston Tea Party Tea Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Reach back to Colonial times and sample teas from that age.  \nTea was a staple in colonial America. It became a symbol of British oppression and colonial protest. Refusal to drink tea\, and events such as the Boston Tea Party were acts of resistance that led to our country’s founding. \nTherapy Gardens will guide us through the Boston Tea Party\, including the famous ships involved\, the Sons of Liberty and “taxation without representation.”  \nThis program is sponsored by the Swansea Cultural Council\, a local agency\, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:Jan Scanlan presents "We Must Carry On!"
DESCRIPTION:As we get closer to the semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence\, learn what our colonial Bradford counterparts would have been doing 250 years ago!  Massachusetts has been marking events wherein male revolutionaries dumped tea\, stood up to British intrusion\, and battled their way through an uncertain future.  What of the women and children?  How did they carry on while the male population was away (they marched to Cambridge following the alarm from Lexington 4/19/1775)?  What activities had to be substituted?  How did families support each other and their communities?  Were their lives overcome by responsibility or was there time for recreation?  This all ages event allows participants to interact with items familiar to those of revolutionary Bradford (as Groveland was until 1850). \nJan is an educator and historical interpreter with the Danvers Alarm List Company\, a not-for-profit that recreates the Danvers Militia and Alarm Company that responded to the call out of Lexington\, Massachusetts on 19 April 1775.  Among these responding members was Rebecca Nurse’s great-grandson Francis; he is buried onsite.  Danvers Alarm List Company owns and operates the Rebecca Nurse Homestead\, a seventeenth-century house museum honoring the memory of 1692 “witchcraft” victim Rebecca Nurse. \nThis program is part of the Revolutionary Library Crawl.

SUMMARY:Colonial Life with reenactor Jan Scanlan
DESCRIPTION:Had you lived here 250 years ago\, you would have been in colonial Bradford (Groveland didn’t become its own town until 1850).  It was an uncertain time: British troops were occupying Boston.  Men were away dealing with this threat.  What would your life have been like during this time?  This event allows you to experience activities children would have had for work and play.  Try on colonial clothes; interact with common household activities; play games.\nJan is an educator and historical interpreter with the Danvers Alarm List Company\, a not-for-profit that recreates the Danvers Militia and Alarm Company which responded to the call out of Lexington\, Massachusetts on 19 April 1775\, though she wants it known that the company only made it as far as Menotomy (Arlington).\nThis program is part of the Revolutionary Library Crawl.

SUMMARY:Revolution & The Enlightenment Candlelight Concert (Plymouth)
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of flickering candles will create a serene ambiance\, offering a magical\, immersive escape for the evening. America’s rise to independence coincided with Europe’s own awakening in an age of revolution. Mozart was a practicing Freemason and defended the principles of equality and that music should be accessible for all people. Although he depended on aristocratic support\, he was a staunch defender of the average citizen. His music took a turn from the Baroque era by featuring beautiful melodies with clean and less adorned lines. Johann Hummel was a student of Mozart and embraced the ideals of clarity\, structure\, elegant melodies and individual expression. We are pleased to bring these two beautiful works to historic Pilgrim Hall Museum.
