Liberty Pole Day at Alden House Historic Site

Step back in time to experience the life of a soldier in the American Revolution at a military encampment and living history day on the grounds of Alden House Historic Site. Join reenactors from Colonel Bailey's 2nd Massachusetts Regiment and the Yarmouth Minutemen for military drills, music, and living history demonstrations. Enjoy blacksmithing, colonial foodways, linen and wool spinning demonstrations, spycraft activities for kids and much more.

There will also be a re-enactment of Duxbury's 1775 "Council of War," showcasing three tumultuous days in April of 1775 following the Battles of Lexington and Concord, as Duxbury leaders determined their response to the opening days of the war.

Alden House will be open for tours during the program.

Admission is FREE for kids; $15 for adults. It is funded by a Festival and Projects grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
