SUMMARY:Red Coat March to Salem's North Bridge
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of “Leslie’s Retreat\,” a pivotal moment that marked Salem’s first stand against British authority and helped spark the American Revolution. \nThe Grand Reenactor March will happen at 11am\, before the march\, there will be a speaking portion at St. Peter’s San Pedro Episcopal Church. Note that the spectacle will be an event for the public to view from North Bridge. The general public will NOT march with the reenactors! Those interested only in seeing the parade should plan to be at North Bridge at 11am sharp on February 22. This is a once in a lifetime event\, not to be missed! \n \nOn February 26\, 1775\, just weeks before the shots at Lexington and Concord\, Salem witnessed what could have been the first battle of the American Revolution. When British Lt. Colonel Alexander Leslie and his troops attempted to seize colonial weapons\, they were met with remarkable resistance at Salem’s North Bridge—where courage\, diplomacy\, and level-headed leadership prevented bloodshed but demonstrated American resolve. \nExperience history come alive as we recreate this dramatic confrontation at its original location. Watch as historical reenactors portray the tense standoff between British troops and Salem’s citizens. \nBe part of this remarkable commemoration as we honor the courage\, wisdom\, and restraint shown by both sides during this critical moment in American history. This event offers a unique opportunity to witness and understand how Salem’s citizens stood firm in defense of their rights while avoiding the outbreak of war—if only for a few more weeks. \n  \nFree and open to the public!
