Wed Oct 14 · 7:00pm
Pam Peterson walks through what Marblehead's burial grounds record of the town's Revolutionary War dead — a town that supplied Glover's regiment, the fishermen who rowed Washington across the Delaware. The Marblehead Museum runs the talk at the Abbot Public Library as one of a four-part autumn series on the Revolution in the town.
Wed Oct 28 · 7:00pm
Rabbi David Meyer tells the story of a Jewish soldier in John Glover's Marblehead regiment, the amphibious unit of fishermen and mariners that ferried Washington's army across the Delaware in December 1776. The talk is the second in the Marblehead Museum's autumn series at the Abbot Public Library on the town's Revolutionary history.
Wed Nov 4 · 7:00pm
Nancy Schultz on what John Glover did after the war: the Marblehead general who commanded the regiment that moved Washington's army by water retired to a farm, and the house survives. The talk is the third in the Marblehead Museum's Revolutionary series at the Abbot Public Library.
Wed Dec 9 · 7:00pm
Robert Booth on the Glover brothers and the properties they held in and around Marblehead — the domestic and commercial side of a family better known for John Glover's wartime command. It closes the Marblehead Museum's four-part autumn series at the Abbot Public Library on the town and the Revolution.
