Swept Up In Revolution Reception

The 250th anniversary of April 19, 1775—the start of the American Revolution—presents an opportunity to reexamine and broaden our understanding of revolutionary Lexington. We invite you to a special free reception to explore our newest exhibition, Swept Up In Revolution. Follow its three chapters, Before, During, and After the Revolution, to encounter stories of individual people and 18th-century objects that speak to the varied ways Lexingtonians experienced the revolutionary era, and how they acted, reacted, and adapted to the immense change happening around them.
