The First Muster commemorates the first assembly of what would become the National Guard, on #SalemMA Common in 1637.
It’s a day to thank & celebrate the service of today’s Guard, but to also acknowledge that the reason for the 1637 muster was to wage war on the Indigenous inhabitants of the area.
Today we celebrated the 251st anniversary of Leslie’s Retreat by dedicating a new memorial kindly donated by Ed Lavoie. Feb 26 1775, the people of #SalemMA successfully confronted British troops en route to confiscate colonial arms, marking the dawn of a republic that gives no deference to kings.

Lots of thoughtful questions on the #SalemMA High School project, including what happens to the $208M state grant if a No vote 5/5.
Could we use it for a renovation instead? Could we still take it and do the new building anyway?
New FAQ at www.salemma.gov/salemhighschool answers these questions.
