Special to the Record
In 2024, Chelsea celebrated its 400th anniversary.
Looking ahead, the celebrations will continue. In 2025 and 2026, Massachusetts 250 will commemorate the many battles across the state that led to America’s independence.
Chelsea will be part of the celebrations with the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Chelsea Creek in May of 2025. The Battle of Chelsea Creek was the first naval engagement of the Revolutionary War.
Programming and additional events will take place in Chelsea and across Massachusetts to honor #ourfirst250.
Over the coming weeks and months, the city will have more details about the plans to celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Chelsea Creek as a foundational moment in American history.
