SUMMARY:Newburyport's Road to Independence IV: American Rebels: Hancock\, Quincy\, Adams
DESCRIPTION:American Rebels: The Hancock\, Adams\, and Quincy Families Fanned the Flames of Revolution…in Newburyport and Beyond.\nNewburyport’s Offin Boardman carried secret letters for John Adams\, who argued court cases in Newburyport. The USS Hancock was built in Newburyport in 1776\, and all three families were linked by ties of blood and friendship to this community. Join Nina Sankovitch\, author of American Rebels: How the Hancock\, Adams\, and Quincy Families Fanned the Flames of Revolution to explore the the efforts of these leading New England families to foment support for the American Revolution in the decade leading up to the 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence. \nThe fight for independence never would have succeeded if New Englanders\, across class lines and from all backgrounds\, had not joined the fight. John Hancock\, John Adams\, Abigail Adams\, and Josiah Quincy were instrumental in bringing together disparate groups and igniting a shared ambition for liberty from English oppression. Using words (in speeches and letters) and actions (court cases\, acts of civil disobedience\, espionage\, community outreach)\, they rallied colonists to betray their King and Parliament as a necessary and God-ordained duty to themselves\, their neighbors\, and their country. With the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, the shared fight became a covenant\, and the rights of life\, liberty\, and pursuit of happiness\, the promise of independence. On the 250th anniversary of our nation\, we celebrate that covenant\, that promise\, and the men and women who made it all possible.\nFunded in part by the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism.

SUMMARY:Colonials of the North Shore: A Tour of Massachusetts Historic Home Interiors
DESCRIPTION:Step inside historic colonial-era homes on this new tour\, offered April 18th only! \nInterior stops include the oldest deeded house in North Andover\, the birthplace of the country’s first postmaster general\, and more! \nIn the 1600s\, colonists from England settled an area of the North Shore region of Massachusetts and named their new town after their British one—Andover. Also encompassing the town of North Andover\, which was established in the 1850s\, the history of the two locales includes nearly a third of all accused of witchcraft in Salem\, early opposition to British taxes\, men who marched to Lexington on April 19th\, and the origins of the “My Country\, ‘Tis of Thee” anthem. \nThis tour will bring you inside several colonial-era homes found in these two locales\, with many more highlighted from the comfort of our charter bus. \nVernacular farmhouses and Georgian and Federal homes are some topics of colonial-era architecture that will be seen and discussed on this tour\, along with stories about the people and history of these places.
