We went to see the Orchard House Museum; Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women in.
This is a map of battle road, which is where the shot heard round the world started the Revolutionary War in 1775. Red Coats marched toward Concord to take guns from the militia but were met with men who heard about the shots in Boston and were ready to fight back.
Visitor's center at North Bridge where the first British soldiers died.
You can see the bridge where the Colonists and Red Coats faced each other. The Red Coats turned and fled back towards Boston but were ambushed all the way back to Boston by the Colonists. About 100 British died and 49 Americans died.
We watched a 20 minute video of what happened on this day to start our country out towards independence from Britain. I love history and loved seeing Lexington Road where all of this happened, between Boston and Concord, MA.
