Join Peggy M. Baker, a distinguished historian, genealogist, and longtime scholar of Plymouth’s history, in a free lecture on Wednesday, October 28, 7 – 8 pm, and explore the story of Benjamin Warren.

On 19 April 1775, American history changed. Colonial forces faced the British army at Lexington & Concord … and won. Word spread rapidly, and the Plymouth “Minute Men,” among them Benjamin Warren, a 35-year-old general store owner, rallied to the Patriot cause. For the next six years, Benjamin participated in America’s battle for independence, from the siege of Boston to the New York frontier, before returning home to resume civilian life. His is the quintessential Plymouth story, that of an ordinary man who, in extraordinary times, rose to the challenge and made his mark on history.

In-person and Online tickets are available.

For the Wampanoag People, the tradition of making a mishoon—a dugout canoe crafted from a single tree through a process of controlled burning—continues as a living cultural practice. Earlier this fall, we were honored to witness a second mishoon burn that went well into the night, conducted by culture keepers and educators on the Historic Patuxet Homesite. We are grateful to our colleagues who continue to carry, practice, and share this knowledge today.
