June 21st On June 21st at 7 PM, Hinsdale celebrated a Proclamation Day event at Kittredge School. On June 20th at 10 AM, twelve volunteer motorcycle riders left the Lexington Massachusetts Common in a symbolic "call to arms" ride to Philadelphia. "The Israel Bissell Re-enactment Ride"
The riders carried a replica of the "Call to Arms" document that Israel carried on his ride. They then acquired signatures of officials at Lexington, Philadelphia and Hinsdale.
They followed as close as possible, Israel's original route. (NOT ISAAC'S)
