Gallery Tour of “Protest & Promise: The American Revolution in Lexington”
June 28, 2025 @ 11:00 am
After years of tension between Great Britain and its North American colonies, a skirmish on the town green in Lexington, Massachusetts broke long-held bonds and ignited the American Revolutionary War. In an unprecedented moment in 1775, ordinary people in Lexington made extraordinary choices. An entire community—women, men, black, white, young, old, enslaved, and free—helped spark a revolution.
Today, 250 years later, Americans continue to remember April 19, 1775 as a moment when everyday people shaped history. To mark this important anniversary, the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library presents “Protest & Promise: The American Revolution in Lexington.” The exhibition explores the events of April 19, 1775, with images, objects, and an in-depth look at this watershed event and how it has been remembered. Join museum staff for a free guided tour of the exhibition on June 28 at 11 AM!
