The Breed's Hill Institute is committed to giving
Americans a passion for the revolutionary ideas, people,
and experience that is our shared legacy. It is our belief
that without
an understanding of who we were we cannot know who we are.
Our mission is to reach out to Americans of every
background and political party, to remind us what we have in
common,- the unique story of America. We want to challenge
people to find their place in the American adventure, to
inspire hope for our generation and generations to come.
Breed's Hill is committed to
instilling in Americans, whether they were born here or
have chosen to become American that they have inherited a treasure. All
Americans are the posterity of the patriots who stood at
Breed’s Hill, signed the Declaration of Independence, and
forged the Constitution. We believe in finding new ways,
using modern communication and media, to make the past live
again in our hearts, and inspire us with a vision for the
future.

Our goal is not just education;
it is restoration. Over time, groups with their own
agendas have worked to distort our history. The amazing
contributions and unique stories of many have been
sidelined or belittled. Not everything in our shared
history is good. While we must acknowledge this, we
must also champion that which is good in our history. By
remembering who we were, we discover ourselves in a
larger story, a story to which we can contribute a
verse. We remember that we are still building a society
whose foundations are solid, and if we are diligent,
whose future is unlimited.
Our dream, and our passion, is to see Americans remember
who we are and not rely on others to define us. To
rediscover the great things we have in common, and
therefore be better able to discuss those things on
which we differ. The American Revolution never ended; it
lives on and still seeks the same ideals of liberty,
justice, and self determination.
