The Shot Heard Round the World!!
The battle that started the Revolutionary War started here in Lexington, proceeded along the road to Concord, and then back to Boston. It started with 700 British, and 70 Patriots, and ended up with 1700 British being chased back to Boston by 4000 militia.
The British were trapped in Boston for 11 months, but it wasn't until 8 years later that the peace treaty to the Revolutionary War was signed.
The monument on the Lexington Green or Lexington Commons
The men who died in the Battle of Lexington were brought from the old cemetery and re-buried here at the monument.
and then----back to Todd's
The plane that our good friend Jim Bartz built!
