SUMMARY:The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings
DESCRIPTION:1776 was more than a turning point; it marked the birth of a new world order.

SUMMARY:Witness: Hingham in the Age of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:As the Nation marks 250 years of independence\, Witness: Hingham in the Age of Revolution explores how one New England town experienced the ideas\, contradictions\, and upheavals of the American Revolution. Through the lives of Hingham’s residents– white and Black\, free and enslaved– this immersive new exhibit traces the ups & downs forging of a nation. \nSpanning from the 1667 Wampatuck Deed to the aftermath of the Revolutionary War\, Witness invites you to confront complex questions at the heart of America’s founding: Who belonged? What was worth fighting for? And what did liberty cost? This exhibit was produced thanks to the generous support of MA250 and the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism. \nPublic Transportation from Boston: Visitors can reach the Hingham Heritage Museum easily by public transit\, with service via the MBTA commuter rail (Greenbush Line to West Hingham Station) or the scenic MBTA ferry from Boston to Hingham Harbor. Call for a pick up when you arrive at the Hingham train platform or ferry dock. \nQuestions? Call (781) 749-7721 or email info@hinghamhistorical.org

SUMMARY:Newburyport's Revolution: Through a Howling Wilderness: 1775 March to Quebec
DESCRIPTION:Newburyport’s Road to Revolution Presents: Through a Howling Wilderness: Benedict Arnold’s March to Quebec\, 1775 \n📅 Friday\, September 19\, 2025 – 7:00 p.m.📍 St. Paul’s Episcopal Church\, Newburyport\, MA \nExactly 250 years to the day after Benedict Arnold led his troops out of Newburyport\, join us for a captivating lecture by historian and author Tom Desjardin on one of the most extraordinary—yet often overlooked—episodes of the American Revolution. \nIn September 1775\, Arnold commanded eleven hundred Colonial soldiers on a daring\, top-secret mission: to march and paddle nearly 200 miles through the untamed wilderness of Maine and Quebec to seize British-held Quebec City. It was a journey marked by hypothermia\, disease\, starvation\, hurricanes\, and blizzards. Dozens perished; survivors endured eating everything from dogs to lip salve before reaching their target. Though the attack ultimately failed\, Arnold’s expedition helped pave the way for America’s eventual victory. \nIn Through a Howling Wilderness\, Desjardin tells this gripping story of endurance\, sacrifice\, and leadership before Arnold’s name became synonymous with treason. \nAbout the Speaker: Tom Desjardin holds a Ph.D. in U.S. History and is the author of multiple acclaimed books. A former archivist and historian at Gettysburg National Military Park\, he has taught at Bowdoin College\, advised film and television productions (including Gettysburg and Gods and Generals)\, and appeared on the History Channel\, A&E\, Discovery\, PBS\, and CSPAN. He is a former Commissioner of Education for Maine and director of the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands. \nFunded\, in part\, by the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism

SUMMARY:The 1775 Quebec Expedition from Newburyport: Following Their Footsteps
DESCRIPTION:On September 19\, 1775\, over 1\,100 men departed Newburyport on a secret mission to capture Quebec—led by Benedict Arnold and planned with George Washington. \nJoin Jack Santos as he recounts the stories of Newburyport’s patriots on this daring expedition through the wilderness as we celebrate its 250th anniversary. \n250 years ago this year\, on the 19th of September\, 1775\, 1100 farmers\, soldiers\, merchants\, teachers\, and laborers left Newburyport on eleven ships for a secret\, bold attack on Quebec City. \nHad the plan worked\, there likely would have been no revolutionary war\, and Quebec would have been the 14th state in a new United States of America. \nRelatively recently\, Jack Santos put his hiking boots on his feet\, and his kayak on his car\, to follow Arnold’s trail through Maine. He followed the diary\, maps\, and stories of Newburyport soldiers. He visited the same stopping points\, slogged through the same mud\, and got bitten by the descendants of the mosquitoes of that era. \nWe’ll hear the stories of Newburyporters like Caleb Haskell\, Rev Samuel Spring\, Jeremiah Wheelwright and others\, describing their experiences during that ill-fated journey to liberate Quebec. \nJoin us to hear about this exciting trek through the Maine backwoods\, in a way that presents it as a travelogue of a trip that you\, too\, can do – highlighting historical locations\, museums\, and displays to visit first hand. \nCentral Congregation Church 14 Titcomb Street Newburyport\, MA 01950at 3 p.m.
