Manchester in 1775 — Manchester, The Revolution, and The War at Sea Exhibit Opening

Join us as we open our summer exhibit with a living history interpretation of Manchester in 1775 provided by the Ladies Association of Revolutionary America.

For the upcoming 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the Manchester-by-the-Sea Museum is preparing to tell the story of “Manchester, The Revolution, and The War at Sea,” and the opening day on Saturday, May 31, will specially feature living history with the Ladies Association of Revolutionary America interpreting Manchester in 1775.

The exhibit intends to create a better understanding of the town’s heritage, specifically the story of Manchester men during the Revolutionary War, as it was fought at sea, with additional information about the war on land and at home. After opening May 31, it will run through September, and it will be reprised next year for the national semiquincentennial in 2026.​
