Discover the stories behind tea boycotts, the Minuteman who had a bullet graze his ear, mob protests to run loyalists out of town, (someone loses an eye!) our host of Black soldiers at Bunker Hill, and more stories from Revolutionary Stoneham with local historian Dr. Dolly Wilson.

April 19 is the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington & Concord – the start of the American Revolution, and SHSM, along with the Stoneham Historical Commission and the Stoneham 300th Anniversary Committee are highlighting the stories of some of Stoneham’s role in the conflict.

Doors open at 6:45 pm to view the exhibits, including our Revolutionary-era artifacts – with a short business meeting at 7:15 and the talk at 7:30 pm.  The talk is free and open to the public.
