CCACE Concord250 Event: “Understanding Town History for the Big 250!” with Victor Curran
Concord will welcome thousands of visitors in April 2025 for the 250th anniversary of the Shot Heard ‘Round the World. Maybe your out-of-town family or friends will want to come and be part of the fun. Be ready to answer their questions like a pro (Did Paul Revere raise the alarm in Concord? Who shot first? Is this the original bridge?). Concord public historian Victor Curran will offer a one-night summary of his Concord History Course to give you all the talking points you need to tell Concord’s stories like a native from its first indigenous people to its famous writers and antislavery activists, with a special emphasis on the town’s vital role on the first day of the American Revolution. This will include time to answer your questions.
February 3 @ 7:00 PM, Online $25
