BTW, Paul Revere never made it to Concord to warn the townspeople that the 'Regulars' were coming. He was with two other riders, on the road to Lexington/Concord, when they were stopped by a British Army patrol. One rider got away, and it was he who went on to Concord. Revere and the other rider were held for several hours by the British, and when they were released, went north to Bedford to warn the militia in that area.
Today is Patriot’s Day in MA. State and city offices are closed, including state courts. MA residents get an extra day for filing taxes — they don’t have to be filed until tomorrow. True, it is the week for school vacation, but it was when Patriot’s Day was observed on the 19th too.
