About this Event

Community Meeting Room, Main Library, 40 Washington Street, Quincy, MA, 02169


Come commemorate the 250th anniversary of the battle that started the American colonists on the road to independence. Relive the fateful events of April 18-19, 1775 as Paul Revere, William Dawes and others rode through the countryside alerting local militia of the impending arrival of the British Regulars. Hear the stories of resistance exhibited on Lexington Green and the “Shot heard ‘round the World” at Concord’s Old North Bridge. Follow the steps of the British retreat back to Charlestown while under continuous harassment by the militia all along the Battle Road.


Rick Desmarais is a local historian and long-time member of the 2nd Suffolk regiment, First Company of Foot (aka Hingham Militia). Over the years, he has engaged in re-enactments of the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, Battle Road events in Lexington, Concord and Arlington (Menotomy) as well as the Battle of Grape Island. He is a former Boston By Foot docent guide with over 25 years of experience leading tours throughout Boston and other South Shore destinations.
