Wayland and Sudbury and the Dawn of the American Revolution

Presentation by Jane Sciacca

On April 19, 1775, more than 300 men from Sudbury (modern Wayland and Sudbury) marched off to Concord to confront British troops on the first day of the American Revolution. What led to their brave deeds that day? What manner of town did they leave, not knowing whether they would ever see it again? What about those left behind that day who could only wonder and wait? Meet the men and women as they transition from proud Englishmen to patriotic American citizens.
