Updated 1 day ago

Needham's Militia march to war on the first day of the American Revolution.

The Battles of Lexington & Concord are etched into the American conscious. But often overlooked is the battle that happened later that day in Menotomy. It involved nearly 6,000 men. And more than half of all the men who died that day fell within the borders of that small Massachusetts village. It was also the place where 180 of Needham's own joined the battle, and 5 of them never returned home. Hear from historians and experts who'll share the story of April 19, 1775 from a local perspective. Also, we'll tag along on a historic walk, retracing the path of the Needham Militia one step at a time.
