Pilgrims to Patriots
Join Us for Amazing History in Plymouth, Salem, Ipswich, Lexington, Concord and Boston
July 31st - August 5th, 2025
Preparing to Celebrate America's 250th!
As we look forward to America's 250th birthday in 2026, we will begin to share PATRIOT MISSION's inspiring national message to honor warriors of the past, present and future. This private weekend event will plant foundational framework for our national outreach.
Plymouth Colony holds many secrets on hallowed ground that are unknown to 99% of Americans. When you join us on this very timely Patriot Experience, you will discover documented historical revelations that directly connect the Pilgrim's landing to our nation's first Revolutionary War battle on Lexington Green and 'The Shot Heard 'Round the World."
You and your spouse, significant other or business partner are invited to join us for an amazing long weekend in the Boston region to participate for a series of special heritage events. You will enjoy very unique, small group experience and meet some of our nation's most knowledgeable historians. Our speakers and agenda are listed below.
