I used to live in the area of the North Bridge and I'd drive by it every morning on the way to work (Monument St. in Concord). That is a very nice area. There's also a hiking/bike trail that runs straight into Lexington and there's a semi-hidden connector to the Minuteman bike trail that takes you all the way to Cambridge.

With regard to Paul Revere, many people still have the mistaken impression that he shouted "The British are Coming" during his ride.

Of course, it would have made no sense for Revere to say that because at the time, everybody was British, including Paul Revere himself. Instead, he shouted "The Regulars are Coming" which pertained to the redcoats (British Army).

You must have also driven by that old yellow house that had the bullet hole fired by the British Regulars.

I once paddled my canoe down the Sudbury River, to the Concord River. I got as far as the North Bridge, and drifted back.

The whole state is alive with history.

Alas, few give it the proper respect that it deserves.
