Greetings From Breed’s Hill with Ted Reinstein
Thursday, October 8 @ 7:00
As America commemorates and celebrates its 250 th Anniversary, Ted Reinstein looks back. Way back. Even years before independence was actually achieved, events took place that would shape how the new nation would look back at its founding. Paul Revere’s ride? One of the most momentous nights in U.S. history. And, like any big night, there was a bill. And America’s first expense report.
All drawn from Ted Reinstein’s nearly three decades of reporting around New England, these stories and more are crafted into a just-under-an-hour talk. If you like history, enjoy learning a story behind the story, or just want a good laugh along with your 250th —“Greetings from Bunker Hill!”
