Through the work of the Hingham Militia, history isn\u2019t just remembered\u2014it\u2019s relived. Every event, every parade, every demonstration is a chance to bring 18th-century life back to the streets and fields of our communities. It\u2019s exciting, it\u2019s inspiring, and it connects us across generations.<\/p><p data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"1335\">None of this would be possible without the steady leadership of <strong data-start=\"848\" data-end=\"873\">Captain Kevin Donovan<\/strong> and the tireless dedication of our board members, who continue to guide the Militia with respect for tradition and a clear eye toward the future. Their work behind the scenes\u2014organizing events, maintaining historical accuracy, and fostering a welcoming spirit\u2014keeps this historic organization not just alive, but thriving. Thanks to their commitment, we\u2019re able to show up year after year as more than reenactors; we show up as living historians with a purpose.<\/p><p data-start=\"1337\" data-end=\"1897\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">And at the heart of it all is this simple truth: the Hingham Militia belongs to everyone. It\u2019s not about one family, one town, or one time period\u2014it\u2019s a shared legacy, open to anyone who wants to learn, participate, and preserve the stories that built our nation. Whether you&#8217;re donning a tricorn hat, cooking over an open fire, or simply showing up to watch, you&#8217;re part of something bigger. We march through time not just for remembrance\u2014but for community, education, and the future. Because history isn&#8217;t behind us\u2014it&#8217;s something we carry forward, together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s something electric about stepping into the shoes of those who came before us\u2014feeling the weight of a musket, hearing the snap of the drum, and standing on the same New England soil where ordinary people once made extraordinary sacrifices.
