Rare 1895 Antique Patriot’s Day Banquet Program – 120th Ann. Battle at Lexington

As shown. See all photos. IDK, this one seems super unique. Maybe I’m crazy. But this is a pretty cool piece of history, found among my mom’s belongings. Apt to have belonged to her maternal grandparents. When the Keiths came from Scotland they settled in Mass. then migrated other places such as Indiana, Michigan, Oklahoma, Chicago.

There are some minor but visible blemishes.
