REV250: The Town That Carried the Revolution™ explores how Marblehead’s fishermen, mariners, and merchants became indispensable to American independence. Walk the harbor streets where citizen-soldiers stepped forward when the outcome was uncertain and the risk was real. Discover how Colonel John Glover’s Marblehead Regiment executed critical evacuations and crossings that helped save Washington’s army, and how this working seaport town supported the Revolution financially and at sea. Created for the 250th anniversary era, this tour reveals why historians still credit Marblehead with helping change the course of the war.
