Step back in time and experience the events of April 19, 1775, through the eyes of those who lived them.This engaging 45-minute living history program begins in the present day before transporting audiences to 1812, where participants reflect in the first person on the momentous day the American Revolution began. Featured presenters portray three historical witnesses: the Rev.

The program concludes by returning to the present for an interactive question-and-answer session, offering attendees the opportunity to delve deeper into this pivotal moment in American history.
