Discovering and Sharing Acton's Stories
Open House, Saturday, April 19
Please join us at our first open house of the season:
Saturday, April 19 2 - 5 p.m. Hosmer House Museum, 300 Main Street, Acton A new Revolutionary War exhibit will be on display in the original part of the house that was standing on April 19, 1775. We will revisit Acton's fateful participation in the events of that day and in the years of war that followed. We will also explore the ways that later generations have kept that history alive. The Hosmer House was home to two Revolutionary War soldiers and must have been the site of great anxiety about loved ones and grief when news returned from Concord that brother and uncle Abner Hosmer and neighbor Isaac Davis had died at the bridge. Join us in remembering Acton's Revolutionary past. |
