Lest We Forget: 250 Year Speakers Program
Tue Apr 14 2026 7:00PM – 9:00PM
Event Description:
▪ 7:00 - 8:00 P.M. “Afoot at Lexington: Uncertainty, Memory, and the First Shots of April 19, 1775” ▪ John Hodgson, Local Historian ▪ On the night the Revolution began, the people of Lexington were operating on limited information, rumor, and instinct. This presentation reconstructs the events of April 18–19 strictly from their perspective, separating documented evidence from later embellishment. The result is a portrait not of legend, but of ordinary people making decisions in uncertainty at a hinge point in history. ▪ 8:00 - 9:00 P.M. “The Masters of Massachusetts” ▪ Cherisse Havlicek, Local Author ▪ Cherisse will discuss the 12 years of events leading up to the signing of the Declaration and the people who pushed things forward to that epic moment that began our country. ▪ Admission: FREE
