Description
In the dead of night on August 14, 1775, Patriots in St. George, Bermuda, scaled the roof of a large storehouse containing hundreds of barrels of gunpowder. The Patriots opened a skylight, tossed a rope down inside, and slid into the darkness. They were aiming to secure a large quantity of powder desperately needed by the Continental Army outside of Boston, Massachusetts.
Join Park Ranger, Jarrad Fuoss, 250 years later as he explores the daring Bermuda Powder Raid with all the thrills of an action movie.
This event is co-sponsored by the Friends of Minute Man National Park
