Upcoming Events
February 22, 2025
We’re excited to announce that Hamilton Hall will be hosting a Revolution Ball in February! The Ball is part of an incredible weekend of events planned in celebration and commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the failed Salem Gun Powder Raid (also known as Leslie’s Retreat) in February of 1775.
Leslie’s Retreat happened prior to the gunpowder raids on Lexington and Concord. It has the distinction of being a potentially violent encounter between colonists and British that ended in diplomacy, the retreat of the British, and no shots fired.
Stay tuned to this website, our social media, and our weekly emails for updates on this upcoming event! If you would like to receive a print invitation, fill out this form.

November 3, 2024 at 3pm - Author Eric Jay Dolin presents the Americana Lecture on his book Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution
Hamilton Hall is delighted to welcome local Marblehead, MA author Eric Jay Dolin as our Fall 2024 Americana Lecturer. In Rebels at Sea, Dolin contends that privateers, though often seen as profiteers at best and pirates at worst, were in fact critical to the Revolution’s outcome. Armed with cannons, swivel guns, muskets, and pikes―as well as government documents granting them the right to seize enemy ships―thousands of privateers tormented the British on the broad Atlantic and in bays and harbors on both sides of the ocean. Abounding with tales of daring maneuvers and deadly encounters, Rebels at Sea presents the American Revolution as we have rarely seen it before.
