Dive into stories about Patriots' Day, America 250, and all things American Revolution

GBH has announced a year-long series of multi-platform programs, events, and collaborations with partners in Boston and across the Commonwealth to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of America.

The Lexington Minute Men reenact the famous battle every year.

The new NOVA film Revolutionary War Weapons provides viewers with a firsthand look at the devastating, innovative, and bizarre weapons that helped decide the American Revolutionary War. For GBH’s America 250 initiative, we sat down with filmmakers Leo Wyard and Stuart Powell to discuss everything from muskets and tomahawks to the world’s first military submarine, and the people who wielded them to win America’s independence.
