SUMMARY:Marblehead's Mysterious Revolutionary
DESCRIPTION:On May 10\, 1775\, the once formidable life of Colonel Jeremiah Lee of Marblehead came to an abrupt end\, due to his covert acts on behalf of independence. \nJudy Anderson leads this illustrated presentation to honor Lee’s life and contributions to the revolutionary cause\, which have remained nearly unrecognized for two and a half\ncenturies. \nA Colonel of Marblehead’s defensive militia since 1751\, Lee also led the town’s large rebel militia from January 1775 until his untimely death. Judy Anderson will illuminate the story of one of America’s forgotten\, but most crucial\, revolutionaries. \nIN-PERSON TICKETS (SOLD OUT) \nFOR ZOOM TICKETS\, CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:When Redcoats Marched in Marblehead
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, February 26\, 1775\, about 250 British soldiers marched through Marblehead\, sent by the royal governor to search for weapons. When that column of redcoats stalled at a drawbridge in Salem\, their commander ordered locals to let them pass. Militia companies were assembling to stop them. If that confrontation had turned violent\, it could have been the start of the Revolutionary War\, almost two months before the first shots at Lexington. \nThis talk puts that confrontation in February 1775 in the larger context of the Massachusetts Patriots’ effort to assemble a military force\, the royal governor’s attempts to stop them\, and how that stalemate eventually led to April 19. It digs below myths attached to “Leslie’s Retreat” to highlight eyewitness accounts of a day the Revolutionary War might have begun\, but didn’t. \nJ.L. Bell is the author of The Road to Concord: How Four Stolen Cannon Ignited the Revolutionary War\, as well as a book-length study for the National Park Service and many articles for the Journal of the American Revolution and other outlets. He has spoken at many historic sites and institutions in greater Boston\, Mount Vernon\, the American Revolution Institute in Washington\, and the Fraunces Tavern Museum in New York. Bell’s website\, Boston 1775\, offers daily updates of “history\, analysis\, and unabashed gossip about the start of the American Revolution.” \nCLICK HERE for in-person tickets \nCLICK HERE for ZOOM tickets \n

SUMMARY:Marblehead on the Eve of Independence
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAs 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. \nJoin Judy as she reveals unfamiliar facts from a pivotal part of Marblehead’s history. \nFor In Person Tickets\, CLICK HERE \nFor ZOOM Tickets\, CLICK HERE \n\nUpcoming Programs

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:1779 letter from General George Washington unveiling
DESCRIPTION:Marblehead Museum is thrilled to announce the acquisition of a 1779 letter from General George Washington to Marblehead’s heroic Revolutionary War general\, John Glover. This special letter\, featuring George Washington’s signature\, is a reply to John Glover’s request to resign from the Continental Army due to the recent death of his wife\, Hannah. The response\, penned by Washington’s aide-de-camp\, replies\, “I am sorry for the unfortunate occasion that urges you to leave the service; but as I cannot take the measure on myself of accepting your resignation\, I have therefore referred your letter to Congress. . . . [S]hould your resignation [be] accepted\, it will be with that concern which I cannot help feeling on the loss of a good officer.” \nThis significant piece of Marblehead’s history was purchased at auction from Swann Auction Galleries thanks to a generous donation by Glover’s Marblehead Regiment. \nThe Marblehead Museum and Glover’s Regiment invite the public to an official unveiling of the letter at 3pm on Saturday\, January 27th in the 2nd-floor JOJ Frost Gallery and Carolyn Lynch Education Center at the Marblehead Museum (there is no elevator – and no off-street parking available). The letter will continue be on display in the Museum when it reopens on March 1\, 2024. Open Tuesdays-Fridays\, 10am-4pm March through May; Tuesdays-Saturdays\, 10am-4pm\, June through December.
