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 1 - Plymouth's 1749 Courthouse: Revolution in the Courts - The 1749 Court House is the only public building in Plymouth that heard the voices found in the history books - Thomas Hutchinson, Robert Treat Paine, John Adams - all waging war not with guns but with words.
Speaker: Stephen O'Neill, Director of the Hanover Historical Society and the Dyer Memorial Library
