WESTBOROUGH – On Monday, Nov. 6, at 6:30 p.m. at the Westborough Public Library, the Westborough Historical Society will present “Printing and Revolution: The Role of Printers in Revolutionary Boston.”
The program will feature printmaster Gary Gregory, the founder of Edes and Gill, a colonial living history printing museum on the grounds of the historic Old North Church in Boston.
His presentation will discuss the connections between colonial newspapers, the printing business, the American Revolution and citizens, as well as the juxtaposition of liberty and enslavement in the colonial era.
