Patriots and Pints: Taverns and the American Revolution
Monday, November 2, 2026, 7pm

Taverns had always been the hub of communication in society, but during the American Revolution they played an enormous role. Groups met there to get information and hear the latest news. Loyalists had their favorite gathering places, as did the Colonials. Spies passed secrets.

Come hear Joseph Adelman, Professor of History, Framingham State University, talk about how taverns influenced the outcome of the Revolution. Program to be held at the Sibley House, 13 Parkman Street, Westborough, free and open to all.

It was a small but mighty crew that clipped, trimmed and weeded our house on Saturday morning. We filled the truck and called it a success. Thanks to all who came. See you next fall!

Our Historical Book Club took a road trip to the Thayer Memorial Library in Lancaster to see the original Flagg portraits referenced in our latest read, the Book of Ages, highlighting the life and opinions of Jane Franklin, sister of Benjamin Franklin. The Library has a wonderful Historical Museum!

It was a great night last Tuesday at the Parkman House. Abigail Adams (AKA Carol Cohen) shared her garden's role in Colonial life and more. Did you know coffee took the place of tea when the tea taxes were enacted???
