In the Footsteps of the American Revolutionary War

Steve Edson is giving a presentation on his photographic work that currently is up at the Monroe Tavern part of the Lexington History Museums. A still photography documentary and narrative series where he photographed at many local historic battlefields, venues and roads where the American Revolutionary War began and took place, from Boston to Charlestown, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Arlington, Concord, and Lexington and beyond. The power of Steve’s images and presentation shows the current conditions of what these sites look like today, almost 250 years after the fact. In his presentation, Mr. Edson will speak about the historical events that led up to the early battles in Concord and Lexington on April 18th and 19th, 1775 and the subsequent months forcing the eventual departure of the British forces from Boston
