The President of the Military Historical Society of Massachusetts requests the pleasure of your attendance at the third installment of a lecture series examining the history of Boston during the era of American Revolution.

Dr. Barbier received her PhD in American History from Boston College, researching Boston’s Social and cultural life during and after the American Revolution.

Because she believes beer makes history even better, she founded Ye Olde Tavern Tours in 2013, offering spirited tours of Boston’s Freedom Trail. She is the author of Boston in the American Revolution: A Town Versus an Empire and co-host of the “Beer Makes History” podcast series. A native of San Diego, she has resided in Boston for over fifteen years.
