Marblehead on the Eve of Independence

This illustrated talk by Judy Anderson will present a portrait of Marblehead at the peak of the town’s pre-Revolutionary prosperity, as social tensions and political divisions began to erupt. Judy will profile our gritty but thriving seaport in the two generations before the grueling struggle for independence.

As Britain’s colonies in North America launched into their long and grueling war for independence, the thriving international Atlantic seaport of Marblehead, which had been the sixth most populous city in British North America, was a very different place than most people today assume or realize.

Join Judy as she reveals unfamiliar facts from a pivotal part of Marblehead’s history.
