The Road to Revolution: Boston, 1775-1776
2026-06-23 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | Zoom
Many Americans mistakenly think that the Revolutionary War is a boring topic. That’s only because you’ve never heard the dramatic stories of how America wanted its independence. Today, we will concentrate on the unexpected and road events in the cradle of the Revolution: Boston.
In the spring of 1775, tensions between Great Britain and its American colonies reached a breaking point. Within a year, the streets, fields, and hills surrounding Boston would witness some of the most important events in American history, transforming a political dispute into a full-scale revolution.
In this dynamic multimedia presentation, historian Barry Bradford traces the dramatic story of Boston’s revolutionary year. Meet the remarkable men who helped shape the Patriot cause, including Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and John Adams, and discover how their leadership influenced the events that changed the world. Follow the dramatic action from the Boston Tea Party and the siege of Boston through Lexingtonn and Concorn, the bloody Battle of Bunker Hill, and George Washington’s brilliant victory at Dorchester Heights, which forced the British Army to abandon the city.
Filled with dramatic stories of fascinating characters, maps, artwork, eyewitness accounts, and video clips, this program brings to life the people, battles, and decisions that launched the American Revolution and set the colonies on the path to independence.
