The Marblehead Museum will launch its Road to Independence Walking Tour on Friday, April 17 at 7 p.m. with additional sessions Saturday, April 18 at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Tour guide Jarrett Zeman will lead participants through sites tied to Marblehead's role in the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill and colonial resistance to British taxation in the 1770s. The tour also addresses controversial chapters from the Revolution's early years, including the oppression of local Loyalists and the contradiction of Marbleheaders fighting to end their political "enslavement" by Britain while enslaving Africans in their own homes.
Tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased on the museum's website or by calling 781-631-1768.
