Folderol, Frippery & Frivolity: Revolutionary Trivia and Storytelling at the Old South Meeting House
Tuesday, March 10, 2026
Do you know who Boston’s most famous silversmith is? Or which colonial leader offered to pay for the tea dumped in the harbor?
Join iCivics and Revolutionary Spaces for a high-spirited evening of Colonial-era trivia and storytelling in Boston’s historic Old South Meeting House. This hour-long program, hosted by Lora De Salvo of iCivics, will test your knowledge of the “America 250” legends, people and moments, all which made Boston the birthplace of the American Revolution. Come join in the fun as we celebrate America’s 250th. The streets you walk today will be brought to life in fun new ways!
This program, co-sponsored with iCivics, is free and open to the public as part of Massachusetts Civic Learning Week 2026. Doors will open at 6:00 pm and the program will begin at 6:30 pm.
