Alright, alright. So the first stop on "The Battle Road" is a tavern. Well, so it was for our minuteman and founding Patriots! And you must admit, this was a must stop for a gal who is a Buckman! And... We have John Buckman brewed Root Beer from Buckman's Tavern.The Battle Road is a great little drive and does give a more tangible feel to the farmland, stone walls and basic neighborhood our "rebels" were fighting to defend from the British regulars and eventually gain independence.
We were most fortunate that a volunteer group of Regiment A Foot were re-enacting British soldier work at Hartwell's Tavern. This shot (below) was a real prize (and lucky) of musket fire.
The Concord Bridge is not as imposing as it is the sixth bridge built on the site since that "shot heard around the world". But the area feels like it has honor and the ghosts of those who fought on that site more almost 230 years ago.
Sunday we do Boston and most of the Freedom Trail. Until then, good night.
