North Bridge

This picture of the North Bridge was taken along the Battle Road between Lexington and Concord in Minute Man National Park at the Concord River near Concord, Massachusetts.  The North Bridge is  a reconstructed Arched Bridge where the original was flat across the River.  This was the point at where the colonists fired the first ordered shots on the British.  Ralph Waldo Emerson immortalized this in his writing of The Concord Hymn "Shot heard round the world" verse.
