Title A name given to the resource Soldiers' Monument Dedication (1867) Description An account of the resource The order of exercises for the dedication of the Soldiers' Monument in 1867. Transcription: Order of Exercises at the Dedication of the Soldiers' Monument, Concord, Mass., April 19, 1867, Prayer, by Rev. G. Reynolds. Ode, by George B. Bartlett. Air, — Auld Lang Syne Beneath the shadows of the elm, where ninety years ago Old Concord's rustic heroes met to face a foreign foe, We come to consecrate this Stone to heroes of to-day, Who perished in a holy cause as gallantly as they. The patriot preacher's bugle-call, that April morning knew, Still lingers in the silver tones of him who speaks to you; As on their former muster-ground called by its notes again, Those ancient heroes seem to greet brave Prescott and his men. And as each soldier-saint appears to answer his name, Not one has dimmed the lustre of its old, unconquered fame; They, too, have left their peaceful homes for scenes of bloody strife, And death has turned to hallowed ground the fields they tilled in life. The Bronze and Stone we proudly rear must surely pass away, But deathless lives of fallen braves can never know decay; For, freed from stain of slavery, our re-united land— The soldiers' truest monument—shall ever firmly stand.

Title A name given to the resource Yankee (1975) Description An account of the resource A two-page spread from the April 1975 issue of Yankee magazine, which was focused on the Bicentennial. This spread shows advertisements for Bicentennial festivities in both Lexington and Concord, including one by Concord's Colonial Inn. Image description: A black-and-white, two-page magazine spread. On the left-hand page are advertisements for attractions and motels on Cape Cod. The right-hand page is divided into two advertisements, transcribed below: Top: We really started something. It all started here. In Lexington and Concord. So what better place to begin the Bicentennial than Massachusetts? There's more historic meaning in every mile here. More revolutionary things to see and do. So start your vacation where the country started. Now more than ever, make it Massachusetts. For a free vacation kit, write Massachusetts, Dept. of Commerce & Development, Dept. 738 Box 1775, Boston, Mass. 02105. Bottom: Come see the town you've heard about all your life. Many small towns grace the pages of American history, but this is where it all began...where valiant Minutemen fired the shot heard 'round the world. The Rude Bridge. Paul Revere, Longellow, Hawthorne, Emerson, Thoreau. We're surrounded by history. So if you want to relive the sights and sounds of the American Revolution during our nation's Bicentennial, it's right on our doorstep. Plan to visit Concord soon, and make the Colonial Inn your GHQ. We're a Great American Inn and we'd like everyone in America to stay here.

This letter was one of many which were microfilmed and stored in the time capsule created by the Girl Scout troops of Concord in 1975. Transcription: Stonewall, Texas March 10, 1975 Dear Stephanie, Your Bicentennial project sounds most interesting! Thank you for inviting me to share in it. As I look back on my White House days, those five years of turmoil and achievement, of triumph and pain, I feel amazement that it happened to me, and gratitude that I had the opportunity to live them and strongest of all - out of all the trips that I made and all the people that I met - a deep, roaring faith in and love for this country. As for my own most rewarding time as First Lady, there were moments, myriad and varied -- but I guess on balance the most rewarding was the feeling that I had come to know our country in all its diversity, its beauty and its problems. As for what was least appealing for me, it was trying to assign priorities -- so many obligations and pressures jostled each other for every hour of time and it was frustrating to have to turn my back or do only poorly many things I really cared about. With best wishes to you and your Troop members, Sincerely, Lady Bird Johnson Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Claudia Alta "Lady Bird" Johnson Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1975 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource image https://www.sc.concordlibrary.org/files/original/5424/1975_flurry_of_birds.jpg 9fa3ea350ebe7eee6c1e7f969463b87b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
