Help shape library’s five-year plan

If you’re interested in learning about the families who lived along the Bay Road in Lincoln in 1775, come see nearly 100 living history interpreters –mostly women and children –on Saturday, April 13. We’ll be at Minute Man National Historical Park, a Lincoln treasure, in the Smith House / Hartwell Tavern area from 9:30am – noon. And then we’ll be fleeing our homes eastward for about 1.5 miles (you can walk with us if you wish) until we reach the Parker’s Revenge area (behind the Visitors Center on 2A) at 12:45. We’d love to speak with you there to tell you a side of the story that you may not know.
