Bout a Revolution
Friday, January 8 • 12:30 PM • Wright Tavern, 20 Lexington Road
The first year of the American Revolution took place in and around New England. You can retrace it from the warmth of the Wright Tavern, the very spot where Concord’s militia gathered on April 19, 1775.
Local photographer Bruce Magnuson will lead a visual journey from the opening shots at Lexington and Concord to the Evacuation of Boston. Bruce guides tours for the Town of Concord. Along the way he stops in Boston and Cambridge, and ventures farther afield to Fort Ticonderoga and Quebec City. Pairing his photographs of today’s landscapes with the people and decisions behind them, Bruce shows these familiar places in a new light. It’s a timely way to mark the Revolution’s 250th.
Also enjoy lunch from @concordcheese
Bruce is a New England landscape photographer whose work ranges from rugged natural scenes to quiet, mysterious moments in everyday places, including black-and-white infrared images. His photographs have appeared at the Griffin Museum of Photography and the New England School of Photography, among other venues.
