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.

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.

SUMMARY:Benedict Arnold in Danvers: Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture at Tapley Memorial Hall by local historian Dan Gagnon from 1:00pm-1:30pm \nThis event will be followed immediately by another event. CLICK HERE to learn more \nDid you know that when Arnold was still on the Patriots’ side of the Revolution\, he and his troops camped in Danvers? \nIn September 1775\, early in the American Revolutionary War\, Colonel Benedict Arnold led a force of 1\,100 Continental Army troops on an expedition from Cambridge in the Province of Massachusetts Bay to the gates of Quebec City. \nOne of the most strategic and daring exploits of the patriot cause during the revolution. Part of the troops encamped in the Town of Danvers on the night of September 14\, 1775\, on their way to Newburyport\, where they embarked for the Kennebec River\, and their famous march through the uncharted wilderness of Maine was accomplished despite formidable obstacles and excessive privations. Native Americans\, specifically the Abenaki\, played a role as scouts and guides\, and there was also hope for broader support from the Indigenous and French Canadian populations against the British. \nThis event is part of the FREE Trails & Sails event series by Essex Heritage \n

SUMMARY:Benedict Arnold in Danvers: Gathering of Troops
DESCRIPTION:On September 5\, 1775\, General Washington called for 786 volunteers from the Continental Army assembled at Cambridge. Their ambitious mission: march to the gates of Québec and capture the city. Led by Colonel Benedict Arnold\, hero of Ticonderoga\, and joined by approximately 250 Pennsylvania and Virginia riflemen\, this expedition was ordered to march from Cambridge to Newburyport\, sail to Fort Western (Augusta\, Maine)\, and then traverse rivers and portage paths through the wilderness to reach the fortress of Québec. There they would join a second army from New York to assault the city. \nOn their way to Newburyport\, a detachment of 1\,100 troops camped in Danvers on the night of September 14\, 1775. These Continental soldiers were welcomed into town by cheering crowds\, who opened their homes to the weary troops. Historically\, the encampment was located behind the modern-day Berry Tavern. \nJoin us on September 14th at 2:00 PM for a reenactment commemorating this historic gathering of troops. We will have reenactors in period clothing conduct military drills and musket firing demonstrations at the monument adjacent to the Berry Tavern\, bringing this pivotal moment in Revolutionary War history to life. \nThis event is part of the FREE Trails & Sails event series by Essex Heritage

SUMMARY:Marblehead on the Eve of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:A walking tour of downtown Marblehead focusing on the mid-1700s\, on the eve of Revolution\, when the gritty but thriving and prosperous international Atlantic seaport was the sixth most populous metropolis in British North America. The town’s zealous and nearly fully rebel (Patriot) service in the 8-year war\, first on land and then at sea\, caused an economic crash that preserved much of the 18th c townscape seen today\, including about 300 houses from before 1775 and a significant wooden high-style Georgian municipal building constructed 1727-29. \nMeet outside the main entrance to Abbot Hall\, 188 Washington St. (restrooms in the lowest level of that building\, in the midst of the sign museum\, before the tour starts). \nThis event is part of the FREE Trails & Sails event series by Essex Heritage
