SUMMARY:General Gage Retreats
DESCRIPTION:This conversational presentation with General Thomas Gage\, the last Royal Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony shares his perspective of the War for Independence after leaving Danvers in 1774 and Boston in 1776\, and making his way home to England. Historian and reenactor Paul O’Shaughnessy will reflect on the summer of 1774\, when Gage moved the government of Massachusetts from Boston to Salem in an attempt to bypass the Sons of Liberty and patriot influence in Boston. July and August of 1774\, General Gage set up office in the Page House and lived at the Danvers Hooper-Collins House (Lindens)\, now in Washington\, DC. Hoping to find a more receptive audience Salem and Danvers. That was not to be. \nWe will discuss Gage’s move back to Boston\, the outbreak of war\, and the British evacuation from Boston. \nPaul O’Shaughnessy is a longtime reenactor of British soldiers and officers from the opening years of the American Revolution.  He recently portrayed General Thomas Gage\, newly appointed Governor of Massachusetts\, in a re-creation of Gage’s arrival in Salem in June 1774.  He is also a Board member of the Lexington Historical Society and the Friends of Minute Man National Park and an officer in His Majesty’s Tenth Regiment of Foot\, a re-created British infantry regiment of 1775. The Tenth Foot is based in Lexington\, MA.  See their website at www.redcoat.org

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:Revolutionary Tea on a Gambrel Roof
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\, and an art installation 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. \nWheelchair accessible building and parking available. Additional parking in the Elm Street lot. \nDonations appreciated \nWe are proud to participate in Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program. \nDanvers Historical Society: 978-777-1666 or E-mail to connect@danvershistory.org

SUMMARY:Facing Colonel Alexander Leslie
DESCRIPTION:How\, why & where the first battle of the American Revolution could have happened at Salem’s North Bridge in February 1775 instead of in Lexington and at Concord’s North Bridge on April 19th. \nLess than two months before April 19th in 1775\, the American Revolution’s first land battle could have taken place in Marblehead and/or Salem instead of in Lexington and Concord\, in the exact same scenario. The “Salem Alarm” event that occurred in Salem on February 26th\, 1775 and later became known as “Leslie’s Retreat\,” is now quite familiar — especially after the big 250th anniversary reenactment a few weeks ago\, and several educational events about it. \nHere in Danvers on April 23rd\, an illustrated program will explore the human side of the near-miss episode\, along with its geographical and social context. \nWho was the “Leslie” of “Leslie’s Retreat” ? — Why did he and his Regular Army troops march through the crowded and volatile metropolis of Marblehead to march into Salem? — And where in Marblehead did they land? \nSocial and cultural historian Judy Anderson of Marblehead will introduce Colonel Alexander Leslie as a person\, along with a few of the other individuals who were involved — most of whom were remarkably young ! … She will also note who were NOT involved\, contrary to common assumptions and portrayals of the tense confrontation on that cold February day. … Along the way\, she will illuminate what Marblehead actually was in 1775\, as opposed to what people think it was — especially in relation to Danvers and Salem. Because in 1775\, all three were VERY different communities. \nPortrait of Lt. Colonel Alexander Leslie as a General (in 1776) by Thomas Gainsborough. Private collection in Scotland. \nDetail of a painting by J.O.J. Frost (1920s)\, depicting the landing of Colonel Leslie’s troops at a cove in Marblehead Harbor. Marblehead Museum collection. \nWe are proud to participate in Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program. \nSpeaker Series typically every 3rd Wednesday\, 7pm.\nIncluding a temporary exhibit of related artifacts from the Society’s collections.\nTapley Memorial Hall 13 Page Street\, Danvers MA.\nDanvers Historical Society: 978-777-1666 or E-mail to dhs@danvershistory.org   Donations appreciated. \nLearn more here: https://www.danvershistory.org/2025/04/facing-colonel-alexander-leslie/
