What happens when a storied town in Massachusetts, one of the first English towns founded by the new colony, decides to challenge the myths of its history? What are the debates, discussions and struggles that take place when you seek to challenge received wisdom - without throwing out all of the colonial past? Life-long Concord resident Joe Palumbo, historical interpreter and guide, explains why Concord no longer believes its 1635 settlers were the “first” residents.
“This presentation nailed it - and should cause people to sit back and realize that mankind has done a lousy job of planning for pandemics because they don’t pay attention to history.”
