SUMMARY:A State of Rebellion\, Part II: Honoring the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, June 17th\, at 7pm at the Adams Academy\, Quincy Historical Society will host the second part of a program exploring life in Braintree during the first pivotal months of the American Revolution. The City of Quincy’s Historic Heritage and Resource Manager Bob Damon\, and Quincy Historical Society’s Executive Director Emeritus Ed Fitzgerald\, will be joined by Emerson College’s Dr. Kerima Lewis to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill.\n\nDrawing from newly compiled archival records\, this program will follow local commanders like Captains Elihu Adams\, Silas Wild\, and Seth Turner and their men from the April 19th alarm to their deployments as Braintree’s “eight-months” companies at Prospect Hill and Fort No. 2 and their participation in the preparations for the Battle of Bunker Hill.\n\nThe presentation will also uncover lesser-known events like the Grape Island skirmish and examine the deep tensions within the town—including documented loyalist families who stood on the other side of the conflict. With vivid eyewitness accounts\, such as Abigail Adams’s letters from the Braintree home front\, and detailed muster records from the Massachusetts Archives\, this program offers a richly detailed portrait of a Massachusetts coastal community at war.\n\nThis event\, part of the Historical Society’s ongoing celebrations of Quincy400\, is open to all and free to attend.
