*Lincoln250 @ the LPL Display: * The Lincoln Minute MenStarting in the fall of 1774, the Massachusetts legislature met in defiance of the Royal Governor at the time and assumed control of militia forces. On October 26, 1774 the legislature recommended that towns recruit volunteers and “form them into Companies of fifty Privates at the least, who shall equip and hold themselves in Readiness to march at the shortest Notice…” Because they were expected to be ready quickly, “at a minute’s warning…” they would become known as “minute men.” *Learn more about the exhibit here! <https://lincolnpl.org/programs-events/special-online-displays-recorded-programs/lincoln250-library-exhibits-events/>* Here are just a few of the many events happening at LPL in March *Lincoln250 Series: Myths of the Battle of Lexington-Concord with Rick Wiggin *(Adult) Thursday, April 10, 7-8 PM, ZOOM <https://lincolnpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/lincoln250-speaker-series-4/> Lincoln Minute Man and Historian Rick Wiggin will discuss what truly happened in Lexington, Concord, and most importantly, Lincoln, on April 19, 1775 and how it became mythologized over time.
