SUMMARY:Book Chat on King Hancock with author Brooke Barbier
DESCRIPTION:Much more than a signature\, John Hancock is an often forgotten but indispensable force in the story of the American Revolution. A man of immense privilege\, he nevertheless found connections across all levels of society and political affiliations. Working behind the scenes\, he bridged divides as a moderate force in a tumultuous revolution in which many Americans felt left behind by more radical politicians. Join us to discuss Brooke Barbier’s new biography of Lexington’s most beloved Patriot and his political prowess\, featuring an author Q&A followed by a group discussion! \n$10 members $15 nonmembers

SUMMARY:Curator’s Tour of Lexington Celebrates! Parades\, Pageants\, & Pandemonium
DESCRIPTION:The 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War is right around the corner. How will we celebrate it? Whose stories will get told\, and how patriotic will we feel in troubled times? These questions have plagued every commemoration since 1875. From massive parades to frozen dinners and political protesters\, April 19th commemorations have been elaborate\, joyous\, and often completely chaotic. Join Lexington Historical Society curators for a special tour of our current exhibit\, Lexington Celebrates! Parades\, Pageants\, & Pandemonium\, to get an inside look at the anniversaries of ages past. \n$10 Historical Society members\, $15 nonmembers. \nLimited to 12 guests.
