MassMu Brown Bag Lunch to focus on American Revolution

The event is free and open to everyone with no reservations required. Guests are invited to bring lunch; MassMu provides complementary cookies and coffee.
Inspired by the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, Craft will talk about the history and myths surrounding the inception of the American Revolutionary War.
