History Events in Boston

Please join Mike Manning, South Boston native and amateur military historian, in a discussion of "Evacuation Day" and its 250th anniversary. The discussion offers a unique chance to reflect on how these two March traditions intersect — from Boston’s 1776 British evacuation to the city’s celebrated Irish heritage — making it a compelling prelude to Evacuation Day and St. Patrick’s Day observances. Topics include a brief history of the Revolutionary War to December, 1775, a return to Fort Ticonderoga, the 'Noble Train of Artillery', the British fleet in Boston, the Parley, the Evacuation, and the War shifts south to New York and New Jersey.
