Featured Event
“One for the Revolutionary Road: Taverns and the American Revolution” with Malcolm Purinton
Tuesday, March 10, at 6:00 pm, Medfield Public Library, 458 Main St. Medfield
In Colonial and Revolutionary America, taverns were far more than places to drink—they were the centers of community life and political debate. From town meetings to revolutionary planning, these spaces helped shape a new American identity.
Join historian Malcolm F. Purinton of Northeastern University for a fascinating look at taverns, alcohol, and their role in early American history.
