Since we are learning about the American Revolution, I thought I'd share some cool events going on in the next month and a half!
Saturday March 2, 2013 – Witness the event that sparked the American Revolution!
Little Redcoats and Little Bostonians, 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Young visitors will experience what life was like for Bostonians and British soldiers in Boston in the
months leading up to the Boston Massacre. Free; in front of the Old State House.
Trial of the Century, 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Immediately following Little Redcoats, come inside to watch patriot
lawyers John Adams and Josiah Quincy defend the British soldiers accused
of murdering
Bostonians. Audience members are invited to act as witnesses and jurors
for this celebrated case. Free with museum admission; in the Old State
House. Space
is limited; tickets for both performances go on sale at 9:00 a.m. at the
Old State House Museum front desk.
Boston Massacre Reenactment, 7:00 p.m.
Join us and become a part of this infamous event as it is reenacted
in front of the Old State House, in the very place where it took place
in 1770. Decide
for yourself if the soldiers fired into the crowd in self-defense or
cold-blooded murder. Before the action unfolds, hear from patriots,
loyalists, and moderates
who will talk about the events and attitudes that led to that fateful
night. Free; in front of the Old State House.
