Description
Schedule of Events:
11:00 am- Supply Masters at Concord: Colonel Barrett & Captain Heywood
In the lead up to the American Revolution, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress called for the creation of a provincial army to oppose British Regular forces in Boston. The Provincial Congress knew that a successful army required not just men, but an incredible amount of supplies. In Concord, it appointed Colonel James Barrett and Captain Jonas Heywood as supply masters, to handle all the warlike stores amassed prior to April 19. Join Antiques Roadshow-featured expert Joel Bohy as he explores the story of these two men and the important work they did to make the American Revolution successful.
This lecture requires prior registration.
2:00 pm- Join the artillery program (30 Minutes)
See if you have what it takes to be an 18th century artillerist in this non-firing hands-on experience. Join a Park Ranger for an interactive program about 18th century cannons and their use on the battlefield.
