Beyond 1775: Concord and the Massachusetts National Guard

Hear stories of remarkable service and view the objects that witnessed war. The tour will also offer participants a unique view of how the Massachusetts militia developed and innovated from 1636 to today with brand new exhibits put together in preparation for 250th of the American Revolution.
