Revolutionary Stories: The Enduring Legacies of the American Revolution
In preparation for the 250th anniversary commemoration of the American Revolution, 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 an initiative to gather, record, interpret and share both well-known and underrepresented stories about the people, places, events and objects that relate to the period 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 will bring awareness to the diverse perspectives and experiences of those who lived within the 45 communities that now comprise the Heritage Area during this complex period of history. Stories will be made available through a publicly accessible online repository. Freedom’s Way and our community partners may use this information to develop programming, projects and itineraries that engage new audiences in the story of the American Revolution and its enduring impacts on the social and cultural fabric of our nation.
