Description

Autumn in Colonial New England was a time of change and transition when many gathered to share the fruits of summer labor and prepare to survive the coming winter. In 1774 it was also a time of preparation for the coming conflict.

Join us as we commemorate the 250th Anniversary of creating the Provincial Congress and preparing for War. Two days of special programs at Minute Man’s Historic Hartwell Tavern will cover the experiences of everyday people as they prepared for winter and for war in 1774.

Thank you to Friends of Minute Man National Park for sponsoring this event! Friends of Minute Man National Park
