#ChandelierSunday #DorchesterHeights

Today 249 years ago the @BritishArmy left #Boston during what we call #EvacuationDay in Beantown. Thank you to a Virginian from @mountvernon.bsky.social who came to our rescue and served at #DorchesterHeights #Rev250

On March 17, 1776 Gen. #GeorgeWashington of #MountVernon commanded the troops upon #DorchesterHeights including my 4th great-grandfather Capt. Jonathan Poor. In 1901 125 years later this bronze commemorative was made - 124 years later I purchased it. #Rev250 #RevolutionaryWar
