OVERVIEW
Enjoy a picturesque drive into the outskirts of Boston and explore the historic battlefields of Lexington and Concord, two former farming communities that played pivotal roles in the earliest days of the American Revolution. At Lexington Green, you will see where the opening shots of the war were fired, killing several militiamen. The grassy site is now a public park and National Historic Landmark. You will also learn about the fighting that took place in nearby Concord, in particular at the Old North Bridge that spans the Concord River. It was there in 1775 that “the shot heard around the world” was fired, a skirmish that Ralph Waldo Emerson immortalized in a poem. You may see his home and those of other writers such as Nathaniel Hawthorne and Louisa May Alcott while in Concord. Upon reaching Cambridge, you can explore the hallowed halls of Harvard University on your own.
