Description
Welcome to the narrated walking tour of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts!
Lexington & Concord:
Discover the thrilling events behind the “shot heard ‘round the world” with this self-guided driving tour through Lexington and Concord. Follow the path of the very first battle of the American Revolutionary War, from a shootout in the town square to a life-or-death struggle on a narrow bridge. Step back in time and witness the courage and ferocity of the minute men who took on the greatest military power in the world.
Watch the battle come to life around you as you get to know the British and American commanders and hear a vivid blow-by-blow of the fighting as it unfolded over 200 years ago.
Plus, visit historic sites like the spot where Paul Revere was captured at gunpoint by a British Patrol, and the bridge which turned the tide of the battle… and maybe even the entire Revolutionary War.
