SUMMARY:How Did the American Revolution Become Inevitable in 1774?
DESCRIPTION:A Lecture by Robert Allison\, Ph.D.\, Suffolk University\nThursday\, March 21\, 7pm\nAt Marblehead Museum & Virtual via Zoom \n\nFollowing the Boston Tea Party\, Parliament cracked down on Massachusetts. Find out how the Coercive Acts (or\, as Massachusetts called them\, “the Intolerable Acts”) made otherwise loyal subjects into rebels by taking power to choose local officials away from the people of the towns and suspending the Massachusetts charter. The Acts might have benefitted some—by closing the Port of Boston and moving the government from Boston to Salem\, but the Fisheries Act shut down Marblehead’s economy. \nRobert Allison\, Professor of History at Suffolk University\, chairs Revolution 250\, a collaboration among organizations planning commemorations of the Revolution’s beginnings. \nSponsored by the Marblehead Museum and the Revolution 250 Marblehead Committee. \nFor more info and to register: https://marbleheadmuseum.org/upcoming-programs-page/

SUMMARY:Dill: An Immersive Screenplay Reading and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join Revolutionary Spaces for a live reading of the screenplay Dill\, a story inspired by real people and real events on the Cape Ann Shore in Massachusetts during a tumultuous time on the cusp of the American Revolutionary War. The protagonist is an enslaved woman named Dill\, short for Deliverance\, who despite her strong-willed character and drive for independence\, finds herself in a love triangle between two men\, one possibly more suitable\, but her heart longs for the forbidden fruit. \nThe reading will include a cast of live actors for a fully immersive experience\, as well as a four-piece live musical accompaniment and live foley sound effects. The performance will be reminiscent of 1930s radio programming and will transport the audience to another world and time. After our reading\, local historians will join the cast on stage for a discussion and Q&A about the historical context surrounding the film. This will truly be a night you don’t want to miss! \nDill: An Immersive Screenplay Reading and Discussion is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is highly encouraged. Doors will open at 6:30 PM and the program will begin at 7:00 PM. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. \nThis program is made possible by the generous support of The Lowell Institute.

SUMMARY:Five Glover Houses in Marblehead
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend via Zoom HERE. Register to attend in person HERE.  \nDive into Marblehead’s architectural heritage through a talk about five Glover family homes from the mid-1700s\, with photos\, beginning with General John Glover’s handsome Georgian-style home located on today’s Glover Square\, near the public Town Landing on Front Street. Glover’s heroism in the American Revolution is well known. But this talk will feature stories about the homes\, lives and families of General Glover and his three brothers. \nGeneral Glover’s home is one of Marblehead’s most significant houses\, among nearly 300 homes that still survive from the 1700s\, before the American Revolution began in 1775\, Its elegant front doorway frame also makes it among the most stylish\, since only about a half dozen from that time remain that were not updated or remodeled as styles changed. Unlike most homes from the 1700s\, the Glover house also retains much of its original interior woodwork craftsmanship. In addition\, one of its two front rooms has finely carved woodwork in the “Federal” or neoclassical style\, from the decades before the War of 1812. \nIn 1781\, toward the end of General Glover’s retirement from nearly seven years of grueling service in the Revolution\, he purchased a farmhouse that is now located on a uniquely shared historic site in Swampscott\, Marblehead and Salem. The house is thought to have been built in the 1750s in what was then Salem\, though new evidence suggests it may have been built as early as 1732\, the year Glover was born. \nOver the fifteen years before General Glover’s death in 1797\, he would serve in elected offices on the local\, regional and state level\, including as a Marblehead selectman\, a Massachusetts state legislator\, and on state committees that ratified the U.S. Constitution and oversaw land distribution in northern New England. \nJudy Anderson is a social and cultural historian with a focus on architecture\, daily life\, and women’s and family history. She was Curator of Marblehead’s outstanding Jeremiah Lee Mansion for a decade and worked with it for 16 years. For more information\, please visit her website.

SUMMARY:Commemorating Salem 1774 and Pickering’s Plan
DESCRIPTION:What is a “well-regulated” militia?  How did Salem and Timothy Pickering give it shape and point toward the Second Amendment?  The story is now 250 years old!  “I gladly embraced the opportunity which then presented\, of applying to the service of my country the little knowledge & experience an office in the militia had led me to acquire\, by writing the following plain rudiments of the military art.”  Thus wrote Timothy Pickering to George Washington in 1775.  That letter is preserved in the National Archives.  His book “An Easy Plan of Discipline of a Militia” was conceived in the contested public discourse of Salem 1774 when the Massachusetts Provincial Government moved from Boston to Salem.  Divided loyalties and need for a practical manual of arms for the militia to defend Salem led Pickering to simplify earlier regulations.  With Washington and now as adjutant-general (later quartermaster-general)\, Pickering’s “Easy Plan” was adopted across Washington’s Army. \nJoin Charlie Newhall and Bob Erbetta to learn about this turning point of the politics of Salem in 1774\, Pickering’s role in reshaping the Militia\, and the coming of the American Revolution. \nNewhall\, an Early American historian and history teacher at St. John’s Prep\, will present the Salem story and Erbetta\, a co-founder of Marblehead’s Glover’s Regiment (in 1974) and a highly experienced reenactor\, will walk us through the actual manual of arms and drill of soldiers.

SUMMARY:Essex County in the Early Days of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Many historians who study the early years of the American Revolution tend to focus only on the actions of the residents of Boston and Middlesex County. However\, on the eve of the Revolution\, Essex County communities to the north established and organized resistance movements to Crown policies that often far exceeded the efforts of their Bostonian counterparts. \nJoin historian Alexander Cain as we explore Essex County’s role in the opening yearsof the American War for Independence. During his lecture\, Alex will review the county’s response to the Stamp and Townshend Acts\, the Boston Massacre and the Tea Act.
