The Lenox Minutemen
Berkshire250, History and Heritage, Literature, Lectures, and Talks
March 29 | 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Lenox Library will host a presentation on “The Lenox Minutemen” with Local History Librarian Amy Lafave. Over 30 men from Lenox were part of Paterson’s regiment of middle and northern Berkshire minutemen who were training to be ready at a minute’s notice, when news arrived in Lenox on April 21, 1775 that the British were on their way to Lexington. Captain Charles Dibble’s company marched for Cambridge 18 hours later. This feat was accomplished at a time when there was no Mass Pike, no instantaneous forms of communication, no mass transit.
