SUMMARY:Westford REV 250: Bartering\, Currency\, and the American Economy in Colonial Times
DESCRIPTION:The issue of money\, particularly its scarcity\, loomed large in colonial America. Under the constraints of British rule\, gold and silver served as the official legal tender; however\, these precious metals were rarely found circulating within the colonies. Lacking a stable and trusted commodity to function as currency\, colonial governments in the eighteenth century turned to paper money\, creating a new avenue for economic exchange. \nIn this enlightening program\, you will explore the complex world of currency in colonial America\, exploring its value and significance. The presentation will showcase a historical array of images\, providing visual context as it unfolds the story of money in this era. It will begin by examining the currency of the United Kingdom\, delineating its application in the colonies\, and clarifying the notion of “legal money\,” including the various “Tenors” that defined its worth. Furthermore\, it will delineate the primary mediums that facilitated business transactions and the exchange of goods in the vibrant marketplace of pre-revolutionary America. \nAbout the Speaker: Matthew Mees\, a dedicated Living Historian\, specializes in the rich tapestry of colonial life during the late 18th century. His expertise spans the transition from British dominance to the nascent years of American independence\, offering invaluable insights into this transformative period. \nProgram Donation: $10 per person \nWestford REV 250 Program series is sponsored by Enterprise Bank

SUMMARY:Acton 250 Committee presents: One for the Revolutionary Road: Taverns and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Northeastern University Professor Malcolm F. Purinton discusses the role of the tavern in local society as the colonies headed into the American Revolution. There were few places more important in colonial and revolutionary America than local community taverns that played witness to local\, regional\, and national events in American history. Decisions made in these cozy environments had important and far-reaching consequences ranging from protest planning to actions such as the Boston Tea Party. \nRecordings will be on our website and ActonTV https://actontv.org/on-demand/education shortly after the event. Please see https://www.actonma.gov/250 for all programming and don’t forget our commemorative store https://tinyurl.com/ACTON250STORE!\nGenerously supported by the Acton Lions Club and Acton Memorial Library.

SUMMARY:Book Chat on The Revolutionary Samuel Adams by Stacy Schiff
DESCRIPTION:The Revolution is coming! New for 2024-25\, our Book Chat series will examine books and biographies that explore the people and legacy of the American Revolution – just in time for 250th anniversary celebrations. \nStacy Schiff’s latest book explores one of the most pivotal figures in the Battle of Lexington – who was not even from Lexington! When Paul Revere rode into town on the night of April 18th\, 1775\, his mission was to alert Adams and John Hancock – two of the most radical and well-connected revolutionaries in Massachusetts – that the British raid on military supplies in Concord may include their arrest for treason. The need for the leader of the Revolution to hide in a sleepy suburban town initiated a chain of events that would change American history forever. But how did a man from an affluent family become the fiery politician we know today\, who orchestrated some of the most important events of the Revolution? Join us for a discussion on Schiff’s book and Adams’s life to find out! \nPlease note that due to construction at the Depot\, Book Chats for the 2024-25 season will take place in the archives and Research Center at Munroe Tavern. \n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers

SUMMARY:250th Anniversary of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress “Exploring Democracy – Our Rights and Our Responsibilities”
DESCRIPTION:In October 1774\, the political conflict between Great Britain and Massachusetts reached a crisis. Parliament enacted the “Intolerable Acts” to punish the province for the Tea Party\, and they revoked the charter of 1691 by which the popularly elected House of Representatives joined with the Council and Crown-appointed Governor to rule the Bay Colony. In the ensuing furor\, county conventions protested the changes; crowds closed courts\, Patriots took over county militias\, and encouraged towns to resist the new regime of the General Court. Royal Governor Thomas Gage called the Court to meet in Salem\, but the Assembly never convened. \nAlthough Gage canceled the session\, the representatives decided to meet behind closed and locked doors and reorganize as the Massachusetts Provincial Congress. Its first session opened a week later\, on October 11th\, in Concord\, safe from the control of British authorities. The gathering was a landmark in the history of self-government. The Congress set the colony on a collision course with Britain and an eventual road to independence. Even as it proclaimed loyalty to the Crown\, the Congress mobilized the province in a struggle to reclaim the rights and liberties Massachusetts had enjoyed. Without declaring independence\, the popularly elected body seized the reins of power\, charted a new future for Massachusetts\, and set a model of self-government. \nOctober 11\, 2024\, marks the 250th Anniversary of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress. To commemorate this occasion and honor our forebearers\, the Wright Tavern Legacy Trust is sponsoring a gathering in Concord’s First Parish Meetinghouse and the Wright Tavern next door\, where the delegates to the Congress met. This will be a day-long\, engaging program. With noted historians to guide us\, we will return to this crucial moment in the history of the American Revolution and ask what we can learn from the past. With state legislators joining us\, we will examine the state of democratic governance in Massachusetts and the United States today. And\, with students and teachers from Massachusetts schools\, we will collaboratively explore the future of democracy. Come join us for this remarkable day.

SUMMARY:Hosmer Open House featuring a cannon from Bunker Hill!
DESCRIPTION:The Acton Historical Society will host a visit of a British cannon.\nThis cannon was cast between 1760 and 1770. It was acquired by a local militia company in May of 1775. The ship on which it was located became mired in the mud at Chelsea Creek. This cannon and 3 others taken from the ship were later used by American forces to fight off the British at Bunker Hill. \nCome and see this “survivor” and learn about its discovery to restoration!
