Boston reenacted the 1776 British evacuation with a Catholic Mass and ceremony at Dorchester Heights on its 250th anniversary.
On March 17, 2026, Boston marked the 250th anniversary of the British evacuation from the city, a key Revolutionary War milestone.
Reenactors in 18th-century uniforms gathered at St. Augustine Chapel and Cemetery for a Catholic Mass before marching to Dorchester Heights, where American forces had fortified positions with artillery from Fort Ticonderoga, forcing the British withdrawal after an 11-month siege.
The event, coinciding with St. Patrick’s Day, included music, reenactments, and a wreath-laying at the newly reopened Dorchester Heights Monument, following a $37 million restoration.
Attendees reflected on the nation’s founding and the evolution of religious freedom, noting the irony of a Catholic service in a city that once restricted Catholic worship.
