Patriots Day Remembrance & Trolley Tour

Every year on Patriots Day, the members of the Danvers Alarm List Company gather to honor the brave men from Danvers who made the ultimate sacrifice at the Jason Russell House on April 19th, 1775, by participating in a special mini-marathon of commemoration ceremonies.

This year, in commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of Patriots Day, we’re expanding our programming. For the first time, we’ll offer Trolley transportation, allowing not only our reenactors but also members of the public to join us at each of our historic stops. Our knowledgeable reenactors will share the story of the 16 mile march made to the Battle of Menotomy and the lives of the men we lost that day.

At each stop of the graves and monuments dedicated to the seven Danvers men, we will hold a brief ceremony and a volley salute. Reenactors will also bring history to life with engaging spoken dialogue aboard the Trolleys.

Trolleys will pick-up and drop-off at the Rebecca Nurse Homestead. There is plenty of parking available but once we leave the Homestead at 7:50am we will not be returning until around 12:30pm, so please keep this in mind. (We will have portable toilets available at the Nurse Homestead before departure and upon return.)
