Every year on Patriots Day, the members of the Danvers Alarm List Company gather to honor the brave men from Danvers who made the ultimate sacrifice at the Jason Russell House on April 19th, 1775, by participating in a special mini-marathon. This year, in commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of Patriots Day, we\u2019re expanding our programming. For the first time, we\u2019ll offer Trolley transportation, allowing not only our reenactors but also members of the public to join us at each of our historic stops. Our knowledgeable reenactors will share the story of the 16 mile march made to the Battle of Menotomy and the lives of the men we lost that day. At each stop of the graves and monuments dedicated to the seven Danvers men, we will hold a brief ceremony and a volley salute. Reenactors will also bring history to life with engaging spoken dialogue aboard the Trolleys. Be sure to stay tuned for the most up-to-date information on the schedule and Trolley registration.<\/div>\n

Below are the stops without the exact times as we are still finalizing this. Trolleys will pick-up and drop-off at the Rebecca Nurse Homestead<\/a>. There is plenty of parking available but once we leave the Homestead at 7:50am<\/strong> we will not be returning until 1pm<\/strong>, so please keep this in mind. (We will have portable toilets available at the Nurse Homestead before departure and upon return.)\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
