Lexington, Concord, and the Battle Road

This year, April 19 marks an historic anniversary of incomparable importance: the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the American Revolution. In many respects, April 19, 1775, marks the first day in the history of the entire United States. Join historian Ralph Siegel for a program on this first crucial battle, where Massachusetts militia volunteers responded to the alarm at Concord by rushing toward danger against the professional regiments of the British Army. These brave men would literally fire “The Shot Heard ‘Round The World.”
