SUMMARY:Transformed by Revolution at the Concord Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join Curator talks at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm on October 3. Free with admission.  \nWhile Concord’s role in the start of the American Revolution is widely recognized\, less well known are the continued experiences of disruption and turmoil in Concord throughout the war. What was it like to be part of this war-time community? Who participated in this fight for Independence and what did freedom and Independence mean to different people? When the war ended\, how did local communities develop as part of a fragile new nation?  \nThrough eyewitness historical objects\, artworks\, and documents\, Transformed by Revolution explores what it was like to be part of this war-time community that hosted Harvard College and became a hub of military supplies for the army in Boston. The exhibition also considers who participated in this fight for Independence and the meanings of freedom for women\, the Black community\, and sovereign Indigenous nations. These stories are traced through the end of the war and into the years of the early Republic to explore shifting ideas about community\, belonging\, and what it meant to be part of the new nation.
