Exhibit 6:
Newspapers, Journals & Articles
This collection includes approximately 200
issues of more than 56 local and regional newspapers reporting on
Lexington’s – and, in many cases, America’s – history from the early 1800s
through 1975. Headlines cover the news of the day, whether commemorating
the Battles of Lexington and Concord, presenting the pros and cons of
building a new high school for Lexington, debating new national banking
regulations, or announcing the deaths of Presidents Lincoln, Grant and
Kennedy.
While published books may be found by searching the Minuteman Library Network's
catalog (http://library.minlib.net/search/), this exhibit includes some of
the newspapers, journals and articles collected by the Worthens about
Lexington's - and, in many cases, America's - history and contemporary
events between 1770 and 1975. From the American Patriot to the Woburn Daily
Times, headlines cover the news of the day, whether commemorating the
Battles of Lexington and Concord or announcing the deaths of Presidents
Lincoln, Grant and Kennedy. To discover related materials, please refer to
the Documents exhibit.
Additional materials and images will be added to this exhibit in the
future.
