Dorchester Historical Society, 195 Boston Street – 2 pm, Sunday, March 10, 2019
For nearly a year between 1775 and 1776, Boston was a town under siege. Heightened tension made life frightening and unstable for all trapped in the town, including Loyalists, British soldiers, and rebels. Join the Dorchester Historical Society for our March program featuring Brooke Barbier, author of Boston in the American Revolution: A Town versus an Empire, as she discusses what led to the siege, what life was like during the siege and how Boston was ultimately liberated on March 17, known today as Evacuation Day.
