Looking at the catalog for the Beinecke's #Revolution250 exhibition I am deeply envious to learn of their "Bicentennial Schlock Collection". From the finding aid: "It ranges from paper plates and beer cans to a pair of stuffed mice." https://archives.yale.edu/repositories/12/resources/3630#

Harvard is celebrating Patriot’s Day with an all #Revolution250 homepage, including a video about the Dunlap Broadside starring someone you might know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNowPtxWeoY

Paul Revere reenactor stops by Paul Revere Liquor Mart in Somerville, 1977.

BPL’s exhibition features a lot of different versions of the Declaration with a little graphic about how rare—or unique—they are. #Revolution250

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. #Revolution250

The MHS installation of what I think of as Boston’s “other” Dunlap broadside really brings the drama. (Not pictured, a recording of the text being read aloud.) #Revolution250

Abigail admonishes John to “remember the ladies.” #Revolution250

Whereas the Athenaeum has the Washington Library, Mass Historical has the Adams Papers, including his copy of the Treaty of Paris ending the war. #Revolution250

Both “Easy Plan of Didcipline for a Militia” and “Common Sense” will be in my exhibition, but they won’t be *George Washington’s copies*. Incredible curatorial flex. #Revolution250

Hard to imagine a more maximally Bostonian place for a #Revolution250 exhibition than the Athenaeum’s sitting room overlooking the Granary Burying Ground.

Busman’s holiday for me today, going out to visit the #Revolution250 exhibitions at the Boston Athenaeum, Massachusetts Historical Society, and Boston Public Library, all of which you can learn more about on the Declarations Trail website. https://declarationstrail.org

John Adam said: “It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished.
But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, 'whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,' and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.”

The BPL's new #Revolution250 exhibition is now open, and they've created an excellent digital exhibition to go along with it, including this bonkers copy of the 1823 Declaration facsimile with real signer signatures clipped out of letters and documents pasted on. https://www.leventhalmap.org/digital-exhibitions/declarations/

@kcoyle Oh, that's a great idea--I wouldn't be surprised if somebody did that when it first came out, but I don't know specifically. I'm going to be showing The Farmer Refuted in my #Revolution250 exhibition next year.

Did you know: on the night of April 22, 1778, American naval commander John Paul Jones led a daring but ultimately not hugely productive raid on the British port of Whitehaven on the northwest coast of England. This rare special issue of the local newspaper reports on the attack the next day. #revolution250

Today I'm pulling some big maps as candidates for my #revolution250 exhibition next year. (For scale, the call slips are half of a standard sheet of paper.)
-
Pulling more things for my #Revolution250 exhibition—these are broadsides reporting the Boston Massacre and the Battles of Lexington and Concord, both using black coffins to represent the death toll.
