This walking tour is featured in the 2024 Connecting Communities: Walks & Talks series, “How We Remember.” Connecting Communities: Walks & Talks is part of the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area’s larger interpretive strategy which aims to provide life-long learning opportunities to residents and visitors, connecting them to local landscapes while raising awareness of and inspiring support for conservation and preservation initiatives in the region.

This year’s thematic focus is inspired by our semiquincentennial initiative, How We Remember: A Survey of Revolutionary War Monuments, Memorials and Markers within the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area. The series explores the ways in which people and events of the Revolutionary War period are commemorated in various towns’ landscapes while sharing fascinating stories behind how and why these commemorative objects came to be.
