250th Anniversary of the American Revolution
ZitatCommemorating 250 Years of Revolution in Boston
2025-2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Siege of Boston (1775-1776). Following the first shots at Lexington and Concord, colonial forces laid siege on Boston for 11 months while the British Army tried to maintain control of the town and the harbor. This siege was the first chapter of the eight year war for American Independence.
Join the National Parks of Boston as we commemorate significant moments of this siege and consider how successive generations of Bostonians looked to this pivotal moment as inspiration in later political and social movements.
