Events here turbo charged the birth of the United States
20 miles west of Boston is the town of Concord. Although the town is small, it has had a huge influence on the birth and development of the United States of America.
It was here, on 19th April 1775, at North Bridge, that a militia of American citizens known as Minute Men, attacked British soldiers and forced them to retreat. This was the start of the American Revolutionary War.
Later, in more peaceful times, Concord became a hub for writers and artists, including Louisa May Alcott and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
