SUMMARY:Quock Walker Day Storytelling at Lexington Visitors Center
DESCRIPTION:Join us for ABCL’s 1st Annual Quock Walker Day Storytelling at Lexington Visitors Center\, 1875 Massachusetts Ave\, Lexington\, MA 02420. \n\n\n\nSaturday\, July 5\, 2025 from 9:45 am to 2:15 pm \n\n\n\nStorytelling\, perhaps the best-known oral tradition of African American culture\, exemplifies the desire to express oneself and convey a sense of heritage. Storytellers remain important people in the community; they transform listeners by sharing new perspectives and forgotten customs of the world in which we live. \n\n\n\nDuring Quock Walker Day at Lexington Visitors Center featured storytellers will celebrate the 242nd Anniversary of Massachusetts Emancipation Day and the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. They will communicate memories of colonial Massachusetts\, along with tales of resilience\, ingenuity\, emancipation and patriotism from the 18th and 19th centuries. \n\n\n\nAnother Lex250 family event! \n\n\n\nThese storytellers were trained in workshops supported by a grant from the Community Endowment of Lexington.

SUMMARY:Voices on the Green: "Risking It"
DESCRIPTION:Voices on the Green -Lexington’s premier live storytelling and music series- presents the third of four shows in collaboration with Lex 250 celebrations. \n\n\n\n“Risking It” Six storytellers\, speaking from their own perspective or embodying that of a historical figure\, will share experiences from their lives that pushed them to take a risk. A teacher in a new job must decide whether to join his colleagues on the picket line. A woman finds the courage to join her husband and daughter rappelling from high cliffs\, despite her fear of heights. We’ll experience the story of a Colonial woman who defied her Tory parents by marrying an officer of the Continental Army. Confronted by a Neo-Nazi\, a man of mixed racial heritage risks physical harm if he voices his viewpoint. We’ll also learn how a kindergartner risked punishment to challenge an unfair rule\, and feel the challenge of a computer programmer who abandoned financial security to pursue his artistic and creative muse. \n\n\n\nAll ages. \n\n\n\nAdmission is free.

SUMMARY:Annual Reenactment of Lexington's 1773 Tea Party
DESCRIPTION:On December 13\, 1773\, unfair British taxes were on everyone’s mind as three ships sat in Boston harbor\, carrying shipments of East India Company tea. Lexington Town Meeting concluded a multi-day debate with a resolution to stop purchasing or drinking imported British tea. The crowd spilled out onto the common behind the meeting house and made a bonfire\, throwing the entire town’s supply of tea into it. Three days later\, the Boston Tea Party would make headlines\, but Lexington was there first. \n\n\n\nEach year\, Lexington History Museums reenacts this occasion with a day of tea history! Join us for fun\, interactive activities to learn more about why tea was so important to the Revolution. Meet with the Lexington residents of 1773\, portrayed by the Lexington Minute Men\, to hear their side of the story\, find out where tea comes from\, and end the day by gathering around the fire and burning the tea! \n\n\n\nStop by for all the festivities: \n\n\n\nLHM’s Buckman Tavern museum will be open 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM\, with holiday decorations. Admission will be “pay what you can!” \n\n\n\nFrom 12:00 – 3:00 PM\, learn more about the history of tea and its alternatives during the Revolution\, with drop-in activities with Lexington History Museums and the Chinese-American Association of Lexington. \n\n\n\nAt 12:00 PM\, join local children’s book author Sabrina Bhattacharjya in Buckman Tavern for a reading and signing of her new book\, The Midnight Writer\, sharing the story of the Battle of Lexington from the perspective of a young girl of the time. \n\n\n\nFrom 12:00 – 1:00\, meet with the Lexington Minute Men and learn more about the town’s role in the coming Revolution as the fire begins to grow in front of the Visitors Center. \n\n\n\nAt 1:00 PM\, join us to burn the tea! We will open with a performance by the William Diamond Jr Fife and Drum Corps\, and will be throwing real tea in the fire\, generously donated by Mark T. Wendell Tea Company of Acton. \n\n\n\nAt 2:00 PM\, warm up in the tavern with a special performance by the Lexington History Museums Singers to go along with your tea and historical hot chocolate! \n\n\n\nPresented by Lexington History Museums in collaboration with the Lexington Minute Men\, Chinese-American Association of Lexington\, Boy Scouts Troop 160\, and Mark T. Wendell Tea Company. \n\n\n\nSee more events: https://www.lexingtonhistory.org/events#calendar-73cd8540-5406-466b-b86b-a8793c3cb73c-event-lkssmqha
