Plymouth in the Revolution In-Person
Please join us for a five-part series celebrating Plymouth in the Revolution!
Two hundred and fifty years ago, on April 19, 1775, American history changed. Colonial forces faced the British army at Lexington and Concord...and won. Word spread rapidly, and two regiments of Plymouth "Minute Men", led by Colonel Theophilus Cotton, rallied to the Patriot cause. For the next six years, Plymoutheans participated in America's battle for independence.
Part 3 - Ephraim Spooner & the Home Front - Selectman, Town Clerk and successful merchant, Ephraim was one of Plymouth's most influential Patriot leaders. His contributions illuminate the military, political, and economic issues facing those keeping the home fires burning.
