It’s been 249 years since the opening battles of the American Revolution. At Haverhill’s Buttonwoods Museum, a lecture series is examining the war that created our nation, and the patriotic narratives that have continued into modern times.
“Written by the Victors: Remembering the American Revolution” unravels some of the myths and misconceptions that have been passed down through the centuries. Last month, Buttonwoods Museum Educator Antoine Trombino-Aponte introduced the first half of the lecture series.
Now, the series ends with a breakdown on the war effort that won America its independence. For those who missed the first half, this presentation can stand on its own. For those who heard last month’s lecture, this presentation will bring the experience full circle.
The event is free, and no registration is needed.
The lecture is on Thursday, May 30, beginning at 7 p.m., at the Buttonwoods Museum, 240 Water St., Haverhill.
