SUMMARY:Lexington Tea Burning Reenactment
DESCRIPTION:On December 13\, 1773\, three days before the Boston Tea Party\, the Lexington Town Meeting concluded a multi-day debate with a resolution to stop purchasing or drinking imported British tea.

Join us for fun\, interactive activities to learn more about why tea was so important to the Revolution. Meet with the Lexington residents of 1773 to hear their side of the story\, find out where tea comes from\, and end the day by gathering around the fire and burning the tea!

SUMMARY:Douglass Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Our event\, organized for Black History Month by the Douglass Day organization (DouglassDay.org)\, will be one of about 100 being held across the country and involving thousands of people collaborating in person and online on digital transcriptions aimed at making Black history primary research materials more widely available. This year\, the transcriptions will focus on the materials of the Colored Conventions Project from the University of Delaware. These state and national conventions\, held from the 1830s through Reconstruction\, allowed Black abolitionists and leaders to work toward advancing the legal and civil rights of Black Americans in the 19th century and provided opportunities for leaders like Douglass to rise to prominence. \nThe event will be held from 12-3 pm and include a short transcription tutorial\, viewing of the national Douglass Day broadcast\, several periods of transcription activity\, displays\, and short presentations by local historians on the Colored Conventions\, Frederick Douglass’ visit to Lexington\, Black women honored on the Women’s Monument\, and more. We will also have a birthday cake to celebrate Frederick Douglass’ chosen birthday of February 14. We invite students and educators from local schools as well as the general public to attend. All are welcome. \nSponsors: Lexington Lyceum Advocates\, Lexington History Museums\, LexSeeHer\, Association of Black Citizens of Lexington.  Register your attendance: https://www.lexlyceum.org/events/
