ho
were the Revolutionaries who risked their lives, their
families’ lives, their livelihoods and their property
to take up arms against king and mother country in 1776?
These were not trained soldiers or mercenaries but rather
farmers and shopkeepers, traders and laborers who joined
the fight to free their country from English rule.
Theirs is a story rich in human emotion, complicated by
moral dilemmas, and ultimately won at great personal risk.
As you visit the museums along this trail, you will hear
varied stories of the impact of the war on the lives of
the families who occupied these homes and towns.
