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 2 - Benjamin Warren's War - From the siege of Boston to the northwest frontier, and finally home after six long years of warfare, Benjamin's dramatic story is that of an ordinary man who rose to an historic occasion.
