Definitely worth a trip. Especially this time of year. Huzzahs all around...

The RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington ping list.
Please freepmail me to get ON or OFF this list.
As we approach April 19, I thought this was an appropriate story for the list.

Great article! I remember how I cried when I first saw Concord bridge on a lovely early summer day. Nothing fancy or elaborate, or jazzed up for tourists. Just a simple bridge across a stream...

BTW: I've never been to Lexington and Concord, although I've been practically everywhere else in Eastern Mass. Need to stop by, and not only "for the shots that rang around the world." I will also make sure to mock that PHONEY Henry David Thoreau, who lived "in the wilderness" near his mom's house so that he could have her home cooking everyday.

It's a complete shame what Massachusetts has become 230 years later.
