Experience the importance of The Andover Resolve, a pivotal piece of revolutionary history that occurred right here, in The Andovers.
On June 12, 1776, our town met to determine if&nbsp; the Continental Congress should declare the Colonies Independent.&nbsp; This illegal local vote, "The Andover Resolve" gave Adams, Hancock and the Massachusetts Delegation the courage and authority to sign the Declaration of Independence. Live this local history with a panel discussion led by North Andover Town Moderator Mark DiSalvo and audience participation in a town meeting setting as if it were 1776.
Sponsored by the North Andover Historical Society and hosted by the North Parish in the Historic 1836 Meeting House on Academy Road. Doors open at 6 pm; program at 6:30. FREE and open to all ages.

More than learning to throw punches, participants learn what it means to stay calm, grounded, and in control when life hits back—developing resilience, focus, and presence in real time.<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Rooted in the understanding that stress and trauma live in the body, this approach helps individuals release stored tension, process unexpressed emotions, and restore a sense of safety and agency. Through intentional movement and guided practice, participants strengthen both physical skill and nervous system capacity—learning not just to react, but to respond. This is where grit meets awareness, empowering individuals to reconnect with their strength, clarity, and vitality!
