Suffolk Resolves Signer Addresses Historical Society Dinner

The Milton Historical Society’s recent Annual Dinner had a fitting guest in a speaker who lived from 1741 to 1775. Dr. Joseph Warren, who was portrayed by experienced historic presenter Michael LePage, provided the keynote address.

According to the Milton Historical Society, “Warren, a physician and father of four, was President of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress in April 1775 and a signer of the Suffolk Resolves in 1774.”

At the dinner, Warren discussed the Boston Massacre as well as the current occupation of Boston by the British Soldiers under the command of General Gage.

“It was a fascinating step back into our country’s history, particularly the role that Boston and Suffolk County, which included Milton at that time, played in those crucial first years of American Revolution,” said Eleanor Fusoni, of the Milton Historical Society.
