St. Patrick's Month Reception

Evacuation Day is a great tradition in South Boston. The Commonwealth Museum created a lobby exhibit for Mt. Washington Bank commemorating the British evacuation of Boston on March 17, 1776. "St Patrick" was General Washington's password that day.

Mt. Washington Bank President Ed Merritt welcomes time travelers to the opening reception.
