Munroe Tavern

On April 19, 1775, war exploded outside the home of Anna Munroe. Her husband was away fighting, and British soldiers were advancing toward the town. But life didn't stop; cows needed to be milked, food had to be prepared, and children had to be cared for. Rather than giving up, Anna baked bread, kneading tears into her dough, before hiding family valuables and fleeing with her children. Decades later, her story, and the recollections of her children, were preserved by generations of Munroe women who wrote down family legends and donated heirlooms to the Lexington Historical Society, eventually furnishing the museum we know and love today.
Learn more about the Revolutionary Munroe women and their courage in a new exhibit, Through the Tavern Door: The Munroe Women of Lexington, including treasured mementos rarely on display. This exhibit opens with a special afternoon reception from 5:00 - 7:00 PM on Wednesday, June 10, at Munroe Tavern. No registration is required, and light refreshments will be served.<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="12" height="12" viewBox="0 0 12 12" aria-hidden="true" class="PopupTime__Icon-sc-e38be0dc-2 hbelGY eapp-events-calendar-popup-time-icon"><path d="M6 12A6 6 0 1 0 6 0a6 6 0 0 0 0 12zm.984-4.97a.454.454 0 0 1-.07.154l-.026.038a.5.5 0 0 1-.655.148L3.55 5.857a.454.454 0 0 1-.149-.655.551.551 0 0 1 .722-.164l1.877 1.059V2.9a.5.5 0 1 1 1 0v4a.5.5 0 0 1-.017.13z"></path></svg>

Dr. Benjamin Remillard will discuss the role of New England’s people of color in the Revolution, what drew them to the Patriot or Loyalist causes, as well as what life was like for them and their communities after the war as the new nation struggled to find its footing.Benjamin Remillard is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of History and Classics at Providence College. He recently received his Ph.D. in History from the University of New Hampshire and his current book project, Friends, Brothers, and Citizens: The Revolutionary War Veterans of Color Who Shaped the Early Republic, explores the lives of the Revolution’s veterans and non-veteran Patriots of color who lived across the Northeast during the early American republic.
