REV250 History Tour of North Andover & Andover (12pm)

Join us on September 6th for the Revolutionary History Tour Shuttle, a special collaboration between the North Andover Historical Society and the Andover Center for History and Culture!

Embark on an adventure through our shared heritage as we bring our two towns, once united during the American Revolution, back together for a day of family-friendly learning and fun.

Learn about historical sites in “old” North Andover that stood in 1775 and helped to shape our nation’s journey to independence; the First and Second Burial Grounds and mustering grounds at Kittredge Farm and Becky’s Pond. In ‘old’ Andover, you will visit the site of the 1776 Gunpowder Mill and take the path taken by the Minute Men on “the road to Billerica” on April 19th, 1775.

Our experienced guides will share captivating stories and insights of our local connections to the revolution. As the bus passes more than 24 homes, you will hear the engaging stories and anecdotes about the people who lived in them in the 1775 era, many who were involved in the American Revolution.

The bus will stop once for passengers to get off at the Blanchard Upton House in Andover, take a short garden tour and enjoy a glass of cider.

Reserve your spot on one of two shuttles (10am and 12pm). Each tour takes approximately 1.5 hours. Please note there is limited seating of 42 seats on each shuttle bus. This reservation is for the 12pm-2pm shuttle.
