    Lexington Alarm Letter on View

    Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library 33 Marrett Road, LEXINGTON, MA, United States

    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.

  • 50th Anniversary Celebration and Rededication

    Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library 33 Marrett Road, LEXINGTON, MA, United States

    The Museum of Our National Heritage opened on April 20, 1975. The museum, now known as the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, was a Bicentennial gift to the nation from the Scottish Rite Freemasons of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. Join us on Sunday, April 13, 2025, to kick off the museum’s 50th anniversary celebration!

    This special event will feature a rededication of the museum as well as the opportunity to see the museum’s two new gallery exhibitions: “Protest & Promise: The American Revolution in Lexington” and “Looking Back, Moving Forward: 50 Years of Collecting.” This event launches a year of celebratory anniversary programming, including gallery talks, engaging lectures, and new exhibitions.

    Come celebrate with us as we begin our next half century!
