SUMMARY:Henry Knox and the Noble Train of Artillery
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Lane presents: “The Resources of His Genius Supplied the Deficit of Means” — Henry Knox and the Noble Train of Artillery \nJoin historian Jonathan Lane\, Executive Director of Revolution 250\, for a fascinating talk on one of the most remarkable stories of the American Revolution. \n250 years ago\, a 25-year-old Boston bookseller named Henry Knox undertook one of the most extraordinary feats of the American Revolution. Tasked by General George Washington with retrieving artillery from the recently captured Fort Ticonderoga\, Knox set out across the winter wilderness of New York and New England to transport more than 60 tons of heavy cannon\, mortars\, and shot to the siege lines surrounding Boston. Using over 150 teams of horses and oxen\, Knox and his men dragged the guns across frozen lakes\, snow-choked mountains\, and half-frozen rivers. His “Noble Train of Artillery” not only demonstrated the ingenuity and resolve of the young Continental Army\, but also provided the means by which Washington forced the British evacuation of Boston—an achievement born from courage\, intellect\, and sheer determination. \nAfternoon Enrichment Series • Included with general museum admission • Ages: Adults • Registration not required \nAbout Jonathan Lane: Jonathan Lane\, Executive Director of Revolution 250 has more than 30 years’ experience in public history\, tourism and cultural programming. Revolution 250 is a consortium of more than 70 organizations across the Commonwealth\, working together on the commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution. While his employment has led him to many leading institutions\, including Plimoth-Patuxet\, the American Antiquarian Society\, Berklee College of Music and the Massachusetts Historical Society\, his historical studies have taken him to libraries and archives throughout the U.S. and United Kingdom. He is the author of a monograph on songs for British Soldiers in the 18th century\, and is the editor of From the Potomac to the Etowah\, the Civil War Correspondence of Alonzo Hall Quint. Mr. Lane was awarded the “Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism Revolutionary Achievement Award” from Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy in March of 2024. Jonathan is a member of the Society of the Cincinnati\, the Sons of the American Revolution\, the Colonial Society of Massachusetts and the Alden Kindred of America.

Don’t miss some of the finest pickers\, pipers and fiddlers in the world—Lúnasa will get your spirit (and your feet) moving! \nFormed in 1997\, Lúnasa has long been one of contemporary Irish music’s leading voices.

SUMMARY:Newburyport's Road to Independence\, Part I: The Long\, Dark Winter of 1776
DESCRIPTION:Historian Alexander Cain returns to Newburyport to explore one of the most tense and transformative moments in American history in this engaging lecture on Massachusetts and Newburyport in early 1776. As the Siege of Boston drags through a bitter winter\, he will discuss civilian suffering inside the town\, the controversial use of smallpox in efforts to break the stalemate\, and the evolving roles of the militia and the Continental Army. He then turns to Newburyport’s own story: the growing rumblings of independence\, the dangerous position of Loyalists\, and the unleashing of the town’s most potent weapon in support of the American cause: its “wolfpack” fleet of privateers\, which struck at the heart of British supply lines and reshaped Newburyport’s economy and identity on land and at sea. \nAlex has authored numerous research articles and presentations on the American Revolution\, including the Battles of Lexington\, Concord\, and Bunker Hill\, the Siege of Boston\,Massachusetts privateers and the experiences of New England and New York loyalist refugees during the Burgoyne Campaign. In addition\, he has published two books: We Stood Our Ground: Lexington in the First Year of the American Revolution and I See Nothing but the Horrors of a Civil War: The Loyalists of McAlpin’s Corps of American Volunteers. He is also the creator of the blog and podcast Historical Nerdery (historicalnerdery.com).
