I’ll be speaking at that event about William Dawes, Jr., and his contributions to the American Revolution beyond that truncated ride on 18-19 Apr 1775.
Many other folks have also signed up to give talks at History Camp Boston on other aspects of the American Revolution, or on other aspects of history as a whole. There are authors, professors, living historians, fiction writers, and more, united by a common interest in historical research. You can see the list of scheduled presentations here.
History Camp Boston attendees can also sign up for one of two expert tours of Salem the next day, at an extra cost.
This year, thanks to the generosity of a couple of donors, there are also a few student scholarships available. People aged 15 to 25 can apply for free registration for the Saturday event, including lunch.
That means college students interested in history can attend that Saturday without dipping into the money they’re saving over the summer. Or a high-school student and parent might attend together for the price of one registration.
The scholarship application process isn’t burdensome—just an expression of interest in History Camp Boston and history, and a commitment to attend so the opportunity isn’t kept away from another student who wants it. There are a limited number of slots, and they’ll be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The goal is to ensure that any student of history who hopes to enjoy this unique event can.
