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.
