On Sunday, September 1, we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the most important Revolutionary-era event to happen in Somerville: the Powder Alarm. Often called the dress rehearsal of Lexington and Concord, the Powder Alarm of 1774 triggered a militia uprising at Cambridge Common, showing both patriot leaders and the royal governor that Massachusetts farmers were ready to confront the British government.
Check out this video from Somerville's re-enactment in 2000! We can't wait to do it again. Join us on Sunday from 9:30am - 12:30pm for tours of the Powder House, 18th-century demos, music, games, and activities.

The Museum is open today from 2-5pm. Currently on view, are Firehouse Reels and Space Invader. π₯ --Through projection mapping and spatial sounds, Space Invader celebrates that America is a multicultural kaleidoscope.
