The Fate of this Country: Massachusetts Militia on Alarm 1757- 1775

July 20 @ 1:00 PM

North Bridge Visitor Center
Saturday, July 20
1:00 pm & 3:00 pm (35 Minutes)

In 1757, the people of Massachusetts were under threat of French invasion. Through the crisis, they learned valuable lessons to better prepare themselves for the future. In 1774, a new threat emerged, and the people drew from their past experiences to confront it. Join us across the street from the home of Major John Buttrick, who marched on alarm in 1757 and 1775, for two interpretive talks that explore the experiences of the Massachusetts militia on alarm.
