In celebration of National Black History Month, join the Lincoln Historical Society and the Robbins House Museum of African American History for a panel discussion as we explore how biographers and historians are helping to tell some of the untold and under-told stories of Black lives.

On the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War, the attendees of Lincoln's 2025 Town Meeting were engaged by a lively surprise debate between historic interpreters on the merits and concerns of committing town resources and support for outfitting a militia to respond to increasingly onerous and oppressive British demands. Hear the varied positions of Lincoln's early residents on this pivotal issue!

Prof. Robert J. Allison, renown scholar, author, professor of Early American History, and Chair of Revolution250 will set the stage for what ultimately became the American Revolution.

Prof. Allison will explore the conservative roots of the American Revolution, how the desire to protect the colonial way of life escalated into rebellion, and how Massachusetts—and Lincoln—were at the heart of it all.

Award-winning author Nate Schweber brings to life the story of two remarkable environmental warriors and former Lincoln residents Avis and Bernard DeVoto.

The DeVotos’ decades-long battle to protect public lands and save our National Park system is chronicled in Schweber’s latest book, This America of Ours: Bernard and Avis DeVoto and the Forgotten Fight to Save the Wild.
