Before the morning mist had broken at the dawn of April 19, 1775, shots rang out over Lexington, Massachusetts, signaling the beginning of the American Revolution. More than two centuries later, the city boasts a proud patriotic heritage, reenacting the Battle of Lexington and Concorde and Paul Revere's Ride every year. Walk in the footsteps of the early patriots at the Battle Green and Minute Man National Historical Park, visit the Hancock-Clarke House or take a Liberty Ride trolley tour.
