Join us on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. to hear about the Marblehead men who fought in the American Revolution, most as part of Glover’s Regiment. Others were captains and sailors in Washington’s crucial privateer fleet, or rebels who fought back in other ways, such as serving on Committees and attending the early Continental Congress. Many never returned home, dying on battlefields or at sea. But those buried in Marblehead’s graveyards help us remember our Town’s role in the nation’s fight for independence. Find out more about who lies where, and about what’s wrong about the 1930 Tercentenary sign at Old Burial Hill, in this talk with Pam Peterson.

This program will be hybrid. Sign up for Zoom at <a href="https://tinyurl.com/M250-Cemeteries" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/M250-Cemeteries</a> or join us in person, no registration required! If registering for Zoom, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting online.

Pam Peterson is Chair of the Marblehead Historical Commission. She has served on Marblehead’s Cemetery Commission, after 19 years at the Marblehead Museum, first as Director of Education and then as Executive Director, as well as designer of several exhibitions. She was formerly a skilled paper conservator, specializing in archival materials for museums and others.
This event is presented in collaboration with Abbot Public Library and the Marblehead 250 Committee. For more Marblehead 250 programs, please visit our blog at <a href="https://tinyurl.com/Mhead-250-Series" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/Mhead-250-Series</a>.
