On March 17, 1776, British rule in Boston ended. Thousands of British soldiers, joined by hundreds of local Loyalists, evacuated Boston after an eleven-month siege. What became of those who left? And what was the Boston they left behind?

In this From The Vault map collection showing, take a look at maps that explore the Evacuation of Boston as we mark its 250th anniversary.

This free showing will be hosted Friday, March 13 in the Leventhal Map & Education Center with a staff member from the LMEC available to answer questions. Drop in any time between 2:00PM - 4:00PM. No reservation is required.
