SUMMARY:Concord Museum Forum: The Painter's Fire: A Forgotten History of the Artists Who Championed the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Uncover the overlooked role of patriot artists—women\, Black men enslaved and free\, and people of mixed race—who shaped the Revolution through art\, espionage\, and activism across America\, London\, and Paris. Their work helped inspire rebellion and forge a new political culture\, almost always armed with wax\, paint\, and wit rather than a musket or bayonet. Among these daring figures were enslaved artists with deep ties to Massachusetts\, including famous poet Phillis Wheatley and portrait painter Prince Demah. Together\, the experiences of this extraordinary artistic cohort testify to both the promise and the limits of liberty in the founding era. \nZara Anishanslin is Associate Professor of History and Art History at the University of Delaware. She is the author of the award-winning Portrait of a Woman in Silk: Hidden Histories of the British Atlantic World and has served as a historical consultant for the Philadelphia Museum of Art and “Hamilton: The Exhibition.”

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.

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.

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.
