Local historian and author, Jim Glinski, will be discussing how Scituate responded to the Battle of Lexington and Concord in April 19, 1775. This year marks the 250th anniversary of that battle, which began the American Revolution. In Scituate, over 200 militiamen answered what was known as the Lexington Alarm. Jim will also provide information about the celebration that Scituate and Norwell (which was part of Scituate in 1775) are planning on April 21 to note the response the town made to the momentous events of that time.
This event is free to attend!
