The Revolution: Our Town on April 19, 1775
Each May, Wayland’’s third grade classes participate in the Revolution Program at the Grout-Heard House Museum and at the North Cemetery which features three parts:

• “Home and Family Life” in Wayland, shortly before and during the early days of the American Revolution.
• “The Path to Revolution” recounts the political conditions before the Revolution, their effects on Wayland, and the events leading to armed rebellion. The question, “How do we know what really happened?” will be answered through diaries, letters, newspapers, and artifacts.
• At the North Cemetery the focus will be finding the gravesites of Wayland’s Revolutionary War heroes, learning  about their lives in what was then Sudbury.
