SUMMARY:Lexington Alarm Letter on View
DESCRIPTION:Couriers delivered the news of the conflict at Lexington soon after the event. One of the letters that helped spread the news will be displayed at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library in April. Joseph Palmer\, a member of the Massachusetts Committee of Safety\, sent the first urgent missive by messenger Israel or Isaac Bissell in the late morning of April 19\, 1775. Bissell rode to Connecticut and perhaps further. Recipients duplicated Palmer’s letter several times to carry the news far and wide. An online exhibition about the Alarm Letter can be viewed at https://bit.ly/3LNwFri. \nThe museum’s copy of the Lexington Alarm Letter will be displayed alongside a broadside from John Hancock\, issued on April 15\, 1775. The documents will be on view from April 7 – April 26\, 2025. \nThe museum is open 9 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday\, plus Saturday\, April 19 and 26\, 2025. \nMuseum website: https://www.srmml.org/

SUMMARY:Reenactment of Paul Revere's 1775 Midnight Ride
DESCRIPTION:It’s 1775 in Colonial Massachusetts\, and tensions between American colonists and the British Regular army are higher than ever. Displeased by their taxation without representation in the British parliament and what they see as unjustified actions\, a group of passionate colonists called the “Sons of Liberty” began their own local government called the “Massachusetts Provincial Congress”.  Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride was a historic event that took place on April 18\, 1775\, when Paul Revere rode to warn the colonial militia of British troop movements. The ride helped lead to the battles of Lexington and Concord.

Those stories are represented through the music immigrants brought with them\, enriching our nation despite the challenges they faced. While the stories are as varied as was America’s attitude toward immigrants\, these stories are important because all those who came to America looked for a new beginning and hope for the future — which has been America’s promise.
