What is an Interpreter? For more than a decade, a dedicated group
of living historians have worked to bring the Battle Road ceremonies and
reenactments to life for the public. This has become a strong tradition of the
event and many other are following the Battle Road model in recruiting
interpreters to bring to life for the public their event.
What do the Interpreters
do? Battle Road
Interpreters perform several very valuable roles. Interpreters make the
public's experience more enjoyable and more educational by answering questions
and talking to the public about the historical events of April 19th.
Interpreters also help ensure that the public stay within the safe areas that
are designated for spectators. Visitors consistently tell us that the
Interpreters are one of the highlights of Battle Road.
What do Interpreters
wear? Interpreters
must dress consistently with the guidelines for Battle Road participants
which means dress and other items appropriate to Eastern New England in
1775. This is actually more important to Interpreters due to your public
interaction. If you have any questions about the guidelines just ask.
To
Volunteer: Seventy-Five or more Battle Road Interpreters are
needed! If you are interested in
helping out as a civilian at North Bridge, Hartwell Tavern or Tower Park,
please contact Nick Zallas at Nicholas.zallas@verizon.net. YOU MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE TO BE AN
INTERPRETER, so you can know where to be and what to do. Please, no walk-ons the day of the
event.
Interpreters at Hartwell Tavern
and/or North Bridge are asked to volunteer for duty at Tower Park if possible.
Thank you.
Please Note: Interpreters for
Lexington Green (Monday morning, April 20, 2015) are being handled separately.
