About Revolutionary Stories: As we prepare for the 250th anniversary commemoration of our nation’s founding, Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area, with support from the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati and in partnership with the National Park Service and local communities, is undertaking a region-wide initiative to gather, record, interpret and share both well-known and underrepresented stories about the people, places, events and objects that relate to the periods before, after and during the American Revolution in the region.
Revolutionary Stories: The Enduring Legacies of the American Revolution in the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area brings awareness to the diverse perspectives, inequities, and experiences of those who lived within the 45 communities that now comprise the Heritage Area during this complex period of history.
Information developed through the project will be used to develop programming, projects, and itineraries to engage new audiences in the story of the American Revolution and its enduring impacts on the social and cultural fabric of our nation.
