Lexington and Concord

April 9, 2022

(April 19, 1775)

“..I John Parker, commander of the Militia in Lexington, testifies that at around one o’clock in the morning on April 19, ..was informed that Regular officers were riding up and down the road and insulting passers-by. I was also notified that a number of Regular Troops were on the March from Boston. I gathered my men on the Lexington common and ordered them to disperse and not to fire if they were approached by the Regulars. The British “rushed furiously, fired upon and killed eight of our party, without receiving any provocation therefor from us.”

Join us Saturday April 9, 2022 for a celebration of
the “shot heard round the world.”
