Day 2 in Boston

We spent the second day visiting more sites of the revolution. We started at Lexington Green where the "shot heard round the world" was fired and the very first colonists were killed by the king's army. The spot is shown below. Each year on April 19, they re-enact the confrontation.


This is sitting outside the tavern where the minutemen waited for the call to arms against the approaching red coats.


This house was Jonathan Harrington's home which was here in 1775 during the confrontation. Jonathan Harrington was shot that morning by the read coats and crawled to his front porch shown here and died in his wife's arms.
