See the Revolutionary War landmarks hidden all around us through the eyes of a professional photographer
The 250th anniversary of the American Revolution has prompted locals to revisit and reconsider our town landmarks. Bare fields and unassuming street corners hold stories that only the most ardent history lovers remember, some marked with worn signs and others nearly lost to time. Others teem with tour guides and attract visitors from near and far. Steven Edson’s photography of these modern Revolutionary locations, currently on display at Munroe Tavern, urges the public to reconsider the spaces they drive by and inhabit every day.
Join us for a special closing reception for this exhibit, featuring a a lecture with the artist on the history behind this project, our relationship with the historical landscape around us, and further images from this collection. A perfect addition to your evening enjoying the Taste of Lexington holiday stroll!
6:00 – 7:00: Exhibit closing reception and artist interaction.
7:00 – 8:30: Lecture with Steven Edson
