Two hundred years ago, on 19 April 1775, American history changed. Colonial forces faced the British army at Lexington & Concord … and won. Word spread rapidly, and two regiments of Plymouth “Minute Men,” led by Colonel Theophilus Cotton, rallied to the Patriot cause. For the next six years, Plymoutheans participated in America’s battle for independence.
Although not the site of any great battles, nor the home of any triumphant generals, Plymouth is filled with the stories of the lawmakers and lawyers whose rhetoric inspired the Patriot cause, of the men who risked their lives and livelihood in military service, and of the civilians who kept the home fires burning, as well as of the Americans who, valuing loyalty above all, continued to support the King. They illuminate the complex and fascinating history of Massachusetts’ earliest town, as it embraced the movement for American independence, and the lasting impact it made on the Town’s historical landscape.
April 2: Stephen O’Neill – Plymouth’s 1749 Courthouse: Revolution in the Courts
April 9: Peggy Baker – Benjamin Warren’s War: A Plymouthean in the Continental Army
April 30: Patrick Browne – “Patriotism in a High Degree Zealous”: Ephraim Spooner & the Home Front

Sacred Rebellion: Congregationalists in Revolutionary Massachusetts
2025-05-02 11:00 - 16:00, 2025-05-03 11:00 - 16:00, 2025-05-09 11:00 - 16:00 | Congregational Library & Archives, Beacon Street 14, Boston, Massachusetts, 02108, United States
The Congregational Library & Archives presents a new in-person exhibition, “Sacred Rebellion: Congregationalists in Revolutionary Massachusetts.” The exhibition highlights the stories of Massachusetts Congregationalists drawn from the CLA’s important collections.
By the time the war began, many Congregationalists had embraced a theological justification for war and revolution. They believed that God favored them and that their cause was a morally justified, sacred rebellion. Through sermons, books, poems, songs, and letters, Congregationalists shared their stories, reflected on their moral obligations to each other, and debated questions of liberty and loyalty. But consensus was elusive, and implementation proved difficult and unsatisfactory to many, especially those on the margins.
These discussions shaped the legacy of Congregationalism and the way the Revolutionary War is remembered today, 250 years later.

Sacred Rebellion Curator's Tour
2025-05-02 14:00 - 15:00 | Congregational Library & Archives, Beacon Street 14, Boston, Massachusetts, 02108, United States
Join us at 14 Beacon for a special tour of the CLA’s new in-person exhibition with New England’s Hidden Histories Project Director and “Sacred Rebellion” curator, Dr. Tricia Peone.
The exhibition features many treasures from the CLA’s collections: sermons, books, poems, songs, and letters created by Massachusetts Congregationalists during and after the American Revolution. These objects reveal how Congregationalists understood their moral obligations to each other and debated questions of liberty and loyalty.
Attendees will view the exhibition with the curator, learn more about the objects on display, and gain a deeper understanding of the stories behind the exhibition. The discussion will also explore the unfinished business of the Revolution and the meaning of its legacy today.
Space is limited. Please register via Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sacred-rebellion-curators-tours-tickets-1345346921859?aff=oddtdtcreator

Prudence Wright Re-enactment at the Pepperell Covered Bridge
2025-05-03 12:00 - 14:00 | MA
The Prudence Wright Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and the Pepperell 250th Anniversary Committee are pleased to announce a re-enactment of the “The Women Who Guarded the Bridge” on May 3, 2025.
Previously re-enacted by the Town’s Covered Bridge Committee in 2010 at the Grand Re-Opening of the Pepperell Covered Bridge and by the DAR in Pepperell’s annual Fourth of July Parade, this historic event is back again by popular demand.
The re-enactment features Pepperell’s local heroine Prudence Wright, who assembled a band of women dressed in men’s clothing to guard the bridge over the Nashua River in Pepperell, during the start of the Revolutionary War. Their strong will and bravery resulted in the capture of a British spy in late April of 1775.
The 2025 re-enactment will take place at the Prudence Wright Scenic Overlook, alongside the historic Pepperell Covered Bridge, on land owned by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife. The Prudence Wright Overlook and the Pepperell Covered Bridge are symbols of the struggles and successes that occurred outside the battlefields of Lexington, Concord and Boston during our ancestors’ fight for America’s independence. All are invited to join us as we mark this important 250-year milestone in our history.

Westford REV 250: Join Westford Town Historian, Bob Oliphant for a revolutionary walking tour of Westlawn Cemetery
2025-05-03 14:00 - 15:00 | MA
About 400 people are buried in Westlawn Cemetery, primarily from the 1700s and 1800s, many of whom were members of Westford’s First Parish Church. It is the final resting place for many of the town’s founders, veterans, industrialists, and farmers, with notable family names like Prescott, Robinson, and Fletcher.
Colonel John Robinson (1735-1805) is the most distinguished burial, Westford’s highest-ranking Revolutionary War officer. He led Westford Minutemen to the North Bridge in Concord on April 19, 1775, participating in “the shot heard ’round the world.” Robinson also fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Alongside him are about 15 other Revolutionary War veterans, marked by iron Maltese crosses placed by the Sons of the American Revolution in 1902, veterans from the French and Indian War, two soldiers from the War of 1812, and nine Civil War soldiers.
Robert “Bob” Oliphant, a local historian in Westford, originally hails from Oberlin, Ohio, where he studied metallurgy and materials science in college. He discovered his passion for genealogy during this time. After moving to Westford with his wife, Bonnie, and their three sons eight years post-graduation, he became involved in local history. He has served on the Westford Historical Commission, the Westford Museum and Historical Society board, and various town committees.

Liberty & Loyalty: Embroidered Coats of Arms in an Age of Revolution
2025-05-04 16:00 - 17:30 | Hamilton Hall, Chestnut Street 9, Salem, Massachusetts, 01970, United States
Join Erica Lome, Curator of Collections at Historic New England for our spring Americana Lecture as she discusses “Liberty & Loyalty: Embroidered coats of arms in an age of revolution” at 4pm on May 4. A light reception will follow the lecture.
In 1775, Mary Jones of Weston, Massachusetts, watched her life collapse around her as her family, all supporters of the British Crown, fled their homes and had their immense fortune confiscated during the Revolution. Among what she had left to remember them was a mostly finished needlework sampler displaying the Jones family coat of arms. Years later, she returned to Massachusetts and settled in Concord, where this sampler now resides in the collection of the Concord Museum.
Erica Lome uses this needlework as a starting point to survey the history of embroidered coats of arms worked in Boston in the late eighteenth century. More than an accomplishment of a genteel education, young women used heraldic needlework to document their family genealogy, a practice which endured through war, exile, and independence. (Needlework pictured: Mary Jones (1748-1830), ca. 1768-70. Boston and Weston, MA. Concord Museum Collection, Gift of Cummings E. Davis; T900)

2025-05-08 19:00 - 20:30 | Newburyport City Hall, Pleasant Street 60, Newburyport, Massachusetts, 01950, United States
Explore the uncomfortable truth that, as Newburyport debated concepts of freedom and independence on the eve of Revolution, a significant number of Americans were not free. Thousands of African Americans were enslaved, up to 20% of the entire population of the colonies. In Newburyport, Black voices spoke up forcefully for their liberty and equality amid the revolutionary fervor, and helped turn the tide in Massachusetts against slavery. Some white revolutionaries bitterly characterized themselves as “slaves” of Great Britain and King George in Newburyport newspapers. “I need not point out the absurdity of your exertions for liberty, while you have slaves in your houses,” formerly enslaved man Caesar Sarter fired back.
Join a panel of noted scholars for a discussion of how Newburyport grappled with the promise and paradox of independence.
