Description

How a tiny backwater village in colonial Massachusetts took on the mightiest army in the world...with rather unexpected results! The Rude Bridge! There’s a reason April 19th is the holiest day on Concord’s calendar and during this gentle, mile-long walk to the Old North Bridge and back, you’ll discover why. Based on eye-witness accounts, journals, letters, and other first sources, your expert guide will piece together the exciting events of that remarkable morning in 1775, beginning with the mighty British Army as they set out for Concord, exactly who they met up at the Old North Bridge, and concluding with the opening battle of the American Revolution. If you love true stories of muskets, minutemen, and all things 18th century military, this is the tour for you! ** Concord Tour Company proudly donates a percentage of all "Rude Bridge" proceeds to the Friends of Minute Man National Historical Park.
