What to expect

This tour begins at the North Bridge, where the most pivotal moment of the entire battle took place. Here, you will get the background on what set the stage for this conflict and why the Americans thought the British were already burning Lexington!

Then you’ll dive right into the thick of things and hear about the first major engagement between British and American forces, including the famous “shot heard ‘round the world.” See how the tide of battle swung against the British, and watch their desperate retreat.

Next, you'll get to know American Major John Buttrick and enter the center of Concord. As you admire the historic surroundings, listen to striking accounts of how things went from bad to worse for the redcoats. You'll follow the route of the action alongside Battle Road, bringing skirmish after skirmish to life as the British soldiers make their arduous, bloody trek toward the safety of Boston. Watch the American militiamen force the British into one trap after another in one of the most unlikely upsets in battlefield history.

You'll stop by the site where Paul Revere was captured. Here, hear about his often misunderstood Midnight Ride, and get to know who, exactly, the Minute Men were, and how they were able to fight off the British Empire.

Finally, end up where it all began: Lexington. Witness the final, tense sequence of the battle play out here, then hear about the earth-shaking aftermath of the dramatic encounter.
