SUMMARY:"By the First Ship from Salem:" The Voyage of the Schooner Quero\, April 28\, 1775.
DESCRIPTION:Salem Maritime National Historic Site is telling the story of a key but lesser-known voyage across the Atlantic Ocean 250 years ago to deliver news of rebellion in Massachusetts. In April 1775\, after the Battles of Lexington and Concord\, the race was on to control the narrative of the rebellion. Leaving from Derby Wharf onboard the schooner “Quero\,” Salem patriot Captain John Derby and his crew set sail for England on April 28th\, 1775. Onboard the ship were written accounts of the battle and sworn affidavits by participants. They aimed to beat the British ship “Sukey\,” which was carrying the British military report of the battles back to England. Despite the “Sukey” leaving four days earlier\, the nimble “Quero” arrived almost two weeks before the British vessel. The written accounts from the “Quero” were delivered to London\, where they were quickly disseminated throughout England.\n\n\nTo commemorate the 250th anniversary of the voyage of the “Quero\,” Salem Maritime National Historic Site is hosting a FREE EVENT at 7 pm on Monday\, April 28\, at the Salem Armory Regional Visitor Center (2 New Liberty Street). Titled “By the First Ship from Salem: The Voyage of the Schooner Quero\,” curator Dr. Emily Murphy will highlight the historical significance of this race across the Atlantic. Living history practitioners will read the original accounts from the “Quero” and the “Sukey.” Join us as we explore the tumultuous start of the American Revolution and how the news spread in 1775.\n\n\n\n\nNo reservations are required.

SUMMARY:Newburyport’s Road to Revolution\, Part IV- Black Newburyporters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the uncomfortable truth that\, as Newburyport debated concepts of freedom and independence on the eve of Revolution\, a significant number of Americans were not free. Thousands of African Americans were enslaved\, up to 20% of the entire population of the colonies. In Newburyport\, Black voices spoke up forcefully for their liberty and equality amid the revolutionary fervor\, and helped turn the tide in Massachusetts against slavery. Some white revolutionaries bitterly characterized themselves as “slaves” of Great Britain and King George in Newburyport newspapers. “I need not point out the absurdity of your exertions for liberty\, while you have slaves in your houses\,” formerly enslaved man Caesar Sarter fired back. \nJoin a panel of noted scholars for a discussion of how Newburyport grappled with the promise and paradox of independence. \nCLICK HERE for more information and to purchase tickets \nFunded\, in part\, by the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Tea on a Gambrel Roof w/Tea & Cake
DESCRIPTION:A dramatization of ‘A Gambrel Roof’\, a poem by Lucy Larcom. \nA creative multi-disciplinary theatrical presentation of a circa 1875 local poem about the historic Danvers Jeremiah Page House. Period music\, an art installation\, historic tea blends\, and signature cakes add to the illustration of the story: \nIn about 1770\, when the British monarchy started taxing tea in the colonies\, Jeremiah told Sarah that “no tea shall be drunk in this house”.  However\, while her husband was away one day\, Sarah and two friends secretly had their tea ON the roof of the house.  In Sarah’s words\, “Upon a house is not within it”\, so she was still obeying her husband’s wishes.  This story was told to Anne L. Page\, Jeremiah’s granddaughter\, by a family friend many years later. Anne then told it to her friend Lucy Larcom\, the famous Beverly poet.  Lucy romanticized the story in the poem “A Gambrel Roof\,” written as the 100th birthday of our nation approached and published in the Atlantic Monthly. \nThere will be a Q&A session after the production\, moderated by historian Dan Gagnon. \nWheelchair accessible building and parking available. Additional parking in the Elm Street lot. \nDanvers Historical Society: 978-777-1666 or E-mail to connect@danvershistory.org

In this closing lecture of the Newburyport’s Road to Revolution series\, join historian and author Alexander Cain for an exploration of the first engagement in which Newbury(port) troops play a significant role\, for good or ill.

SUMMARY:The 250th Battle of Bunker Hill Reenactment
DESCRIPTION:The 250th Anniversary Reenactment of The Battle of Bunker Hills aims to accurately portray the events and faithfully represent the people involved in the conflict of June 17\, 1775. Our mission is to celebrate and commemorate the actions and sacrifices of the men and women of all sides of the Battle of Bunker Hill through careful research\, public demonstrations\, civic engagement and educational outreach. Through these means\, we endeavor to increase understanding of the Battle of Bunker Hill\, and to bring to life the stories and voices of those long gone or purposefully excluded: when you see us\, think of them. \nThe first pitched battle of the American War for Independence was fought in stages. Our reenactment of the battle will do the same. The recreated battle will be broken up into a series of vignettes and lectures\, as well as the tactical demonstrations. Beginning each morning\, Colonial forces will race to build fortifications atop the hill as the Royal Navy bombards the American position to soften its defense in preparation for amphibious assault. British soldiers will then be ferried to the beachhead before charging the American lines – attacking the hill three times before taking it through bitter combat. \nBefore and after the tactical demonstrations\, interpreters portraying specific historical figures will give context to the events of June 1775\, detailing how the battle transformed their lives and our nation. Between each action\, visitors will have the opportunity to meet reenactors and learn about the perspectives of the people they portray.  \nMore details about the event can be found at https://www.battleofbunkerhill250.com/.

SUMMARY:"Revolutionary Dwellings" Outdoor Walking Tours
DESCRIPTION:Actually –– nearly every colonial house in Marblehead (those built before 1775)\, was the home of a Revolutionary War serviceman. About 300 houses in Marblehead survive from before 1775\, when the town was the sixth most populous metropolis in British North America. ( In the mid-1700s\, it was Massachusetts’ second most populous town. Salem was fourth.) About 950 families lived in about 525 houses and\, from those 950 families\, it is estimated that over 1\,400 men and boys served in the Revolution. \nNearly half were in service when the American Continental Army was formed in June 1775. Most had been training by January 1775\, when Colonel Jeremiah Lee led the local rebel (“Patriot”) militia\, and a New York newspaper printed that “The madmen of Marblehead are preparing for an early campaign against His Majesty’s troops !” Their most famous feat was carrying out much of the crucial Crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night in December 1776\, in lashing sleet\, for the Battle of Trenton the next morning –– then back again after the battle\, plus long marches to and from Trenton. In addition\, starting in September 1775\, hundreds more served on privateer vessels throughout the war. Therefore\, nearly every colonial-period house in town (those built before 1775\, and a few afterward) was once home to a Revolutionary War veteran. \nTours meet outside Abbot Hall\, 188 Washington St.\, Marblehead\nRestroom available before 4 pm.
