Description
Left Behind: British Prisoners of War on the Battle Road
Saturday, April 19, 2025
1:45 PM (30 minutes)
Jacob Whittemore House
The fighting along the Battle Road on April 19, 1775 was intense; and that intensity only grew, mile after mile, hour after hour. While many British soldiers fought on grimly, others, exhausted, simply laid down their arms and surrendered themselves to the rebels. What happened to those soldiers captured along the Battle Road? Join living historians to learn about the experiences of these unfortunate men.
This event is co-sponsored by Friends of Minute Man National Park
