The Osgoods - 250 Years Ago They Started a Revolution

Doors at 6pm/Presentation at 6:30pm

Based on shared research about their families, cousins Rich Pitra and Kathleen Osgood will bring their ANCESTRY CLUB research to North Andover on the eve of the 250th anniversary of our town’s involvement in the early days of the American Revolution.

From the “shot heard round the world” on April 19, 1775 to September 3, 1783 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, the Osgoods fought in The Revolution. Now, 250 years later, Katie and Rich will highlight the family who fought in the opening battles for American Independence, including the Fryes and Osgoods from Andover, the Osgoods and Prescotts from Lancaster, and the Hales from Hollis, Massachusetts. The presentation will follow their routes to Lexington and Concord and on to the Siege of Boston and the Battle of Bunker Hill.
