Old North Bridge


We went to Old North Bridge the other day with some friends. Mckenzie just cared about the running around the neat trees they have. It was hot and VERY humid, but it was fun to visit a historical site that is so close to our home! Here's a brief history of where we were. It's taken from Wikipedia. It's a historical site in the Battle of Concord, the first battle day in the Revolutionary Ward. Five full companies of Minutemen and five of non-Minuteman militia occupied this hill with groups of other men streaming in, totaling about 400 against the British light infantry companies from the 4th, 10th, and 43rd Regiments of Foot under Captain Laurie, a force totaling about 90-95 men.
