Terrains of Independence – Current Leventhal Exhibit

https://www.leventhalmap.org/digital-exhibitions/terrains-of-independence/#cover-content

The American Revolution is a profoundly place-based story. In 1775, war ignited in Boston and its surrounding towns, fueled by conflicts over trade, governance, and imperial authority.

But why here? What was it about Boston and Massachusetts that made the region such a tinderbox for revolutionary activity in the late eighteenth century?

Terrains of Independence is on display from April 2025 through March 2026 at the Leventhal Center gallery, located at the Central Library in Copley Square. Admission is free.
