SUMMARY:Sacred Rebellion Virtual Exhibition Tour
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, this encore virtual tour of the Congregational Library & Archives’ new in-person exhibition\, Sacred Rebellion\, will be hosted by Executive Director Dr. Kyle Roberts and New England’s Hidden Histories Project Director and Sacred Rebellion curator Dr. Tricia Peone. \nBy the time the American Revolution 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. \nThe interactive tour will be hosted on Zoom\, with registration limited to a small group of attendees. Participants will view Revolutionary-era treasures from the collections; hear stories about how Congregationalists experienced the period leading up to\, during\, and immediately following the war; have opportunities to ask questions; and reflect on what this pivotal event means 250 years later. \nSpace is limited. Please register using the following link by Friday\, May 30th: https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/CongregationalLibrary/SacredRebellionVirtualTour.html \nThe cost to attend is $10 for members and $15 for non-members. \nAfter registering\, you will receive an email with information about attending the virtual tour. \nEmail any questions to programs@14beacon.org. \nSPEAKER BIOS \nDr. Kyle Roberts was appointed the Executive Director of the Congregational Library & Archives in 2022.

SUMMARY:"In Support of the Common Cause” ~ The Merrimack Valley Goes to War A talk by historian and author Alex Cain
DESCRIPTION:“In Support of the Common Cause” ~ The Merrimack Valley Goes to War\nA talk by historian and author Alex Cain\n​Thursday\, June 5\, 2025\, ~ 6:00-7:30pm\nThe History Center at 97 Main Street \nIn October 1774\, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress directed towns across the colony to prepare for imminent conflict with England. In response\, the Merrimack Valley adopted a wartime posture\, forming minute companies\, stockpiling weapons\, ammunition\, and supplies\, and establishing a defense network ready to mobilize if British forces advanced from Boston. Join Alexander Cain as he examines the Merrimack Valley’s response\, focusing on Andover\, to the British threat and explores the region’s buildup to war\, the formation of the Massachusetts minute-man system just before the battles of Lexington and Concord\, and Andover’s role in the Battle of Bunker Hill. \nAlexander Cain is a well-respected and highly sought-after speaker who frequently lectures on the military and social influences of 1775 Massachusetts. He has published multiple research articles that have shed new light on the Battles of Lexington and Concord\, Bunker Hill\, the Siege of Boston\, and the loyalist refugee experience during the American Revolution. Alex has also published two books\, We Stood Our Ground: Lexington in the First Year of the American Revolution and I See Nothing but the Horrors of a Civil War and is the author of the blog and podcast “Historical Nerdery.” Alex directs a Merrimack Valley-based vocational program that introduces high school students to advanced manufacturing and skilled trades careers.

SUMMARY:Courage and Resolve in Nation and Institution Building:  The Influence of Drs. Joseph and John Warren on the Founding of MGH
DESCRIPTION:Major General Joseph Warren’s death at the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17\, 1775\, secured his legacy as a revolutionary war hero. Lesser known is his role as an advocate for organized healthcare for the poor and needy. Both he and his brother John advanced American medicine during the Revolutionary and Early Republic eras. In the early 1800s\, John’s son Dr. John Collins Warren would build upon those ideals through his own role in co-founding the Massachusetts General Hospital. \nJoin us in person or online as author and historian Samuel Forman\, MD\, explores the lives of these three men and their continued influence on current health care.

SUMMARY:250th Battle of Bunker Hill Reenactment
DESCRIPTION:The 250th Anniversary Reenactment of The Battle of Bunker Hill aims to accurately portray the events and faithfully represent the people involved in the conflict of June 17\, 1775. Our mission is to celebrate and commemorate the actions and sacrifices of the men and women of all sides of the Battle of Bunker Hill through careful research\, public demonstrations\, civic engagement and educational outreach. Through these means\, we endeavor to increase understanding of the Battle of Bunker Hill\, and to bring to life the stories and voices of those long gone or purposefully excluded: when you see us\, think of them. \nThe event takes place at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester\, MA. Visit https://discovergloucester.com/250th-battle-of-bunker-hill-reenactment-in-gloucester-ma/ for information on parking and shuttles to the event. \nThough we would love to have Bunker Hill 250 happen in Charlestown\, there just isn’t a location in the city where it would be geographically possible to hold such a program. We encourage all participants to visit the Bunker Hill monument and museum (located at: Bunker Hill Museum Address: 43 Monument Square\, Charlestown\, MA 02129). \nRecreating the Battle\nThe first pitched battle of the American War for Independence was fought in stages. Our reenactment of the battle will do the same. The recreated battle will be broken up into a series of vignettes and lectures\, as well as the tactical demonstrations. Beginning each morning\, Colonial forces will race to build fortifications atop the hill as the Royal Navy bombards the American position to soften its defense in preparation for amphibious assault. British soldiers will then be ferried to the beachhead before charging the American lines – attacking the hill three times before taking it through bitter combat. \nBefore and after the tactical demonstrations\, interpreters portraying specific historical figures will give context to the events of June 1775\, detailing how the battle transformed their lives and our nation. Between each action\, visitors will have the opportunity to meet reenactors and learn about the perspectives of the people they portray. \nEvent Schedule: \nSaturday\, June 21 \nThe Navy Approaches:\nHalf Moon Beach\n8 – 11:30 am \nAs the battle looms\, the waters around Charlestown neck fill with Royal Navy vessels\, sent to bombard the fortifications into submission and land troops for the eventual assault. \nJoin Royal Navy sailors and the crews of the tall ships Story\, Ardelle\, Isabelle\, and Lynx\, as they discuss the roll of the navy in the Battle of Bunker Hill as well as 18th century warfare. \nCivilians Under Siege & the Military on the Move\nThe Marketplace\nAll Day \nThe citizens of Boston were able to observe the Battle of Bunker Hill from the rooftops and hills of the City. They had been under British occupation since the enforcement of the Boston Port Act a year earlier had shut down nearly all commerce to the town causing many to leave. \nInterpreters will explain civilian and military life in Massachusetts in the 1770s. Through a diversity of perspectives across race\, gender\, class\, and politics\, you will learn about the dynamic lives of 18th century Bostonians\, British military officers\, and Provincial leaders. \nThe Preparation:\nThe Redoubt\n9 – 10am \nIn the evening hours of June 16th\, 1\,200 American soldiers leave their camp at Cambridge to cross the neck onto the Charlestown peninsula. These hardened men from the country took on the work of fortifying Bunker Hill.

SUMMARY:250th Battle of Bunker Hill Reenactment
DESCRIPTION:The 250th Anniversary Reenactment of The Battle of Bunker Hill aims to accurately portray the events and faithfully represent the people involved in the conflict of June 17\, 1775. Our mission is to celebrate and commemorate the actions and sacrifices of the men and women of all sides of the Battle of Bunker Hill through careful research\, public demonstrations\, civic engagement and educational outreach. Through these means\, we endeavor to increase understanding of the Battle of Bunker Hill\, and to bring to life the stories and voices of those long gone or purposefully excluded: when you see us\, think of them. \nThe event takes place at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester\, MA. Visit https://discovergloucester.com/250th-battle-of-bunker-hill-reenactment-in-gloucester-ma/ for information on parking and shuttles to the event. \nThough we would love to have Bunker Hill 250 happen in Charlestown\, there just isn’t a location in the city where it would be geographically possible to hold such a program. We encourage all participants to visit the Bunker Hill monument and museum (located at: Bunker Hill Museum Address: 43 Monument Square\, Charlestown\, MA 02129). \nRecreating the Battle\nThe first pitched battle of the American War for Independence was fought in stages. Our reenactment of the battle will do the same. The recreated battle will be broken up into a series of vignettes and lectures\, as well as the tactical demonstrations. Beginning each morning\, Colonial forces will race to build fortifications atop the hill as the Royal Navy bombards the American position to soften its defense in preparation for amphibious assault. British soldiers will then be ferried to the beachhead before charging the American lines – attacking the hill three times before taking it through bitter combat. \nBefore and after the tactical demonstrations\, interpreters portraying specific historical figures will give context to the events of June 1775\, detailing how the battle transformed their lives and our nation. Between each action\, visitors will have the opportunity to meet reenactors and learn about the perspectives of the people they portray. \nEvent Schedule: \nSaturday\, June 21 \nThe Navy Approaches:\nHalf Moon Beach\n8 – 11:30 am \nAs the battle looms\, the waters around Charlestown neck fill with Royal Navy vessels\, sent to bombard the fortifications into submission and land troops for the eventual assault. \nJoin Royal Navy sailors and the crews of the tall ships Story\, Ardelle\, Isabelle\, and Lynx\, as they discuss the roll of the navy in the Battle of Bunker Hill as well as 18th century warfare. \nCivilians Under Siege & the Military on the Move\nThe Marketplace\nAll Day \nThe citizens of Boston were able to observe the Battle of Bunker Hill from the rooftops and hills of the City. They had been under British occupation since the enforcement of the Boston Port Act a year earlier had shut down nearly all commerce to the town causing many to leave. \nInterpreters will explain civilian and military life in Massachusetts in the 1770s.
