Battle of Menotomy: Myth, Lore, & History

Professor Donald Hayes will be presenting on his recent research and discovery of the role Danvers militias played in the Battle of Menotomy at the time of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. Danvers lost seven men that day, second only to Lexington itself. He will highlight what is myth about the events vs what is a documented fact. Hayes is a longtime member of the Danvers Alarm List Company, re-enacting the Danvers Militia unit of 1775.

Seated capacity will be limited, and attendees will be seated on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees may arrive up to 30 minutes before the start of the lecture
