Saturday, July 5, 2025, 10:00am-3:00pm
Commemorate the 250th anniversary of General George Washington’s arrival in Cambridge to assume command of the Continental Army in 1775. Cambridge Headquarters was a testing ground for many of the ideals, institutions, and questions that still define our country. This event will reveal Cambridge Headquarters as a complex hub of revolutionary activity, where generals, enslaved people, paid laborers, poets, Indigenous diplomats, politicians, self-emancipated families, and soldiers shaped history. Event schedule and learn more.
This all-ages event invites visitors to experience Revolutionary-era history brought to life through:
Neighborhood and house tours
Living history interpreters
Short talks by historians
Cambridge Open Archives
Historical exhibits and family-friendly activities, including a Story Walk
This event is made possible through the generous support of Eastern National, a nonprofit partner of the National Park Service.
