SUMMARY:Gold For Ghosts: Rick Beyer's Amazing Campaign for History's Hidden Heroes
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 20 years ago\, while living in Lexington\, author and filmmaker Rick Beyer learned the incredible story of the WWII deception units known as The Ghost Army. He soon launched a quest to tell the world about their exploits\, and to make sure what they did would never be forgotten. That led to the Ghost Army documentary (2013)\, the book (2015)\, and finally the Congressional Gold Medal (2024)\, the highest honor Congress can bestow. \nNow Rick returns to Lexington to recount his epic Ghost Army journey. It began on a winter’s day in a Lexington coffee shop\, and after inumerable twists and turns\, culminated in a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol presided over by the Speaker of the House. Rick will share insights\, anecdotes\, and behind-the-scenes adventures from this wild 20-year ride that so many people in Lexington took part in. All illustrated with rarely seen photos and footage. A story about what it really takes to see history preserved and remembered. \n“The Ghost Army” is one of those remarkable projects where the underlying story of bringing the history to light winds up nearly as compelling as the historical tale itself. Rick Beyer will share both those stories June 13. \n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers\, $5 veterans\, active duty military FREE. \nDoors will open at 6:30 for refreshments.

SUMMARY:Declaring Independence Then & Now
DESCRIPTION:This dramatic presentation\, created by Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area\, aims to find out how our local towns read and reacted to the Declaration of Independence. Across the colonies\, and particularly in Massachusetts\, towns debated what freedom meant to them\, and grappled with the grievances aired in the official Declaration. What did the words in the final document mean to them? Costumed reenactors will bring life to the words of the past\, with narration by former State Representative Jay Kaufman. Rounding out our evening will be a performance by the Lexington Historical Society Colonial Singers. Some of our favorite tunes from the 18th century were highly political\, and many of them were also taken from popular English military music! \nFREE!

SUMMARY:Petitions: A Patriot Legacy Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:“This month’s Book Chat features a special conversation with Mary Keenan\, author of the newly released book Petitions: A Patriot Legacy! \nIn pre-Civil War America\, the most effective grassroots method of enacting change was the humble petition. Particularly for women who were unable to vote\, this was an invaluable tool to create a better society for themselves and others. Keenan explores these documents that enacted civil action on topics such as abolitionism and women’s suffrage.” \n– Lexington Historical Society \n$10 for members\, $15 for non-members
