Join us at The Warner House in the new carriage house for a history and soup lecture by Michael Geanoulis, Sr. In December of 1774, a group of men stormed Fort William and Mary (now known as Fort Constitution) in New Castle, NH, signaling a huge escalation in tensions between the American Colonists and the Crown. However, most tend to focus on the battles at Lexington and Concord as being the start of the American Revolution. However, the ground was laid much before that fateful April battle. In fact, the raid at New Castle, convinced King George four months earlier that he had a serious rebellion on his hands – led in part by Paul Revere, John Langdon, John Stark, and other members of the Sons of the American Revolution. Join us as New Castle author Michael Geanoulis recounts this obscure raid that deserves a place in the history books! Copies of his book, Shots Not Heard Round the World will be available for sale.
