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.
