The "First Voice of Freedom" Began on This Very Spot!

On September 24, 1765, Town Meeting of Braintree held at Middle Parish Meeting House on this Elm Street site, responded to a motion by young lawyer and Town Meeting representative, John Adams, to appoint a committee of five to draft an official protest to the invasive Stamp Act tax imposed by Britain in March, 1765. The protest was called The Braintree Instructions.

It was here in Braintree, ten years before shots were fired in Lexington and Concord, that these Patriots raised the first voices of Freedom in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and led to the first united call for Liberty in the American colonies!
