Lexington & Concord, MA - Birthplace of the Revolution 

I’m from Bedford, so all this took place within a 20 minute drive from my house. Seeing this video makes me realize how often I take for granted the amazing history around me!

Fascinating video. I am English and went to the USA in 2016 visiting New York City and Boston. I read John Ferling's "Independence" and "Almost a Miracle" in preparation as my knowledge of the War of Independence was pretty basic to be honest. I hired a car in Boston and went to visit Lexington and Concord. I obviously recognised that the Americans had justice on their side and that the King was a pretty awful character. But obviously being an Englishman so far from home I found myself wondering how the British soldiers felt. Did they just wonder where the hell they were and what they were doing there? Were they homesick? It made me feel angry towards the British crown sending them so far on such a pointless journey. Hand on heart when I saw the grave of the British soldiers by the Old North Bridge I actually got quite emotional both for the reasons I just mentioned but also because people had taken the trouble to put the Union Flags there which was a gesture I really appreciated. The 'right' side won but as the words on the grave said the British lads were somebody's sons too. So on behalf of us all thank you for those flags and the well kept grave. I'll have to go back though as when I visited I just missed the museum at Concord, it shut just before I got there so I never got to see Paul Revere's lantern.

I did an internship at Minute Man National Park in the summer of 2014. I gave a few talks at the Old North Bridge and the Hartwell Tavern.

Don't be discouraged by these videos getting less views than the reaction ones, that's just cuz most people subscribed for the reaction content

Great work, I love the quiet panning of the camera about the areas, and the long slow views of the inscribed dedications on the monuments. Those are important words to read, for all Americans. Know where this country came from that you live in. Thanks for the Vlog, well done.

I lived in Lexington in the 90's while going to school. The history of the whole area is awe inspiring and I would spend many weekends walking through the fields and historic locations of Lexington Concord, and Bedford. Let's hope that no one decides to topple these monuments in our quest to hold the people of 200 years ago to the ideals and dogwhistles of today's society.

My direct ancestors are the Hartwells and Wheelers, founders of Concord in the 1600s. Must visit this beautiful place. It looks very peaceful now.

My grandfather's owned the Monroe tavern n the British used their portraits for target practice I had 15 relatives fight in this first battle.

I actually came here the day of the Boston marathon bombing for the marches and reenactment. The houses there and the trails are beautiful for hiking or biking

Great Episode! Keep up the good work!

Was here today Chris! I've lived an hour away my whole life and never went. Thanks for helping me give the walking tour to my family. They were impressed 👏

Great video. There are old paths that the militia used to get to Lexington from what is now Woburn. I think it was called Waterfield at the time.

Thanks for this. Definitely planning on making a visit here at some point.

Excellent! Now for that burger at Colonial Inn!

Hope Preston Garvey does not show up. I am not helping anymore settlements!!

Great job, Love it!!!

What an episode

When I first heard about Lexington and Concord in history class, I thought they meant Lexington, Kentucky, which is where my maternal grandparents and my maternal aunt named Gigi live, only later to find out that the Lexington they were referring to was not the city in Kentucky, but a small town that is a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts. I also found out that there are actually many settlements in the United States named Lexington, 25 to be exact. There’s also Lexington, Ontario, which is a district of the Canadian city of Waterloo, and a village in central England named Lexington, in which the town where the shot heard round the world was fired was named after.

Due to COVID-19 we are missing another year for this reenactment. Last year would have been my first experience taken part in battle road.

Thanks. Loved the video.

14:12 Fall out 4 fans definitely know this place

Great video 👍

Very very well done

Interesting to see the actual place I've seen represented in a game many many times. Considering the bridge is wood, has it been damaged and rebuilt a few times over the years (since bridges are often sabotaged in wars if nothing else), or is this largely the same bridge it was back then?

Everything you see here is immortalized in the Bill of Rights.

My hometown!

I’ve been there

Now try to buy a firearm or fireworks in Massachusetts.
