Visitor Center where the story of April 19 will be told using a multimedia presentation. You will learn about all the things that went wrong and why the battle on Lexington Green never should have taken place.
Next, travel to historic Concord where you will learn that Paul Revere never made the midnight ride and that he didn't become famous for the ride until Longfellow wrote a poem about him 90 years after the event. You will learn that Paul Revere's task was to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams that the British were after them. Most people don’t realize that John Hancock was one of the most notorious smugglers of the colony and that Samuel Adams had several warrants against him for treason against the Crown. At the north Bridge you will learn that the British were after brass canon’s that were stolen from the armory in Boston. Having lightweight brass canons would be the equivalent of someone stealing a nuclear weapon in today’s time. In fact, the British troops were instructed not to fire on British citizens. Your guide will relate the stories of what happened in Concord to similar events that happened at Ruby Ridge and Wako. Only victors write history books and all history is a matter of perspective. Lunch is on your own in Concord.
